Our Take

Fred Frith and his trio are back with their latest album, "Closer To The Ground", and let me tell you, this record is like a wild rollercoaster ride through a sonic wonderland.

From the moment you press play, you're catapulted into a world of experimental soundscapes and mind-bending rhythms. Frith's guitar work is nothing short of mesmerising, weaving in and out of complex time signatures with the ease of a seasoned magician.

The chemistry between Frith, bassist Jason Hoopes, and drummer Jordan Glenn is undeniable, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table. Hoopes' basslines are like a jolt of electricity straight to the heart, while Glenn's drumming is so tight, you could bounce a coin off it.

Tracks like "Lunar Escape Velocity" and "Magnetic City" showcase the trio's ability to push boundaries and defy expectations, creating a musical landscape that is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Overall, "Closer To The Ground" is a triumph of creativity and musicality, a testament to the power of three talented individuals coming together to create something truly special. Don't sleep on this one, folks. Fred Frith and his trio are taking jazz-rock fusion to new and exciting heights, and you won't want to miss a second of it.
