Our Take

Ah, SZILARD MEZEI & JON HEMMERSAM, the dynamic duo that is Floating Orange. If you're looking for an album that will take you on a wild, avant-garde journey through the realms of experimental jazz, then look no further.

From the moment you hit play, you're greeted with a cacophony of sounds that shouldn't work together but somehow do. Mezei's masterful compositions combined with Hemmersam's intricate percussion work create a fusion of chaos and beauty that is truly mesmerizing.

The title track "Floating Orange" is a standout, with its infectious rhythm and unpredictable shifts that keep you on your toes. Just when you think you have the song figured out, it takes a sharp left turn and leaves you in awe of the musicianship on display.

But it's not just about technical proficiency with this album. There's a sense of playfulness and whimsy throughout that will have you bobbing your head one moment and scratching it the next. Each track feels like a puzzle waiting to be solved, with new surprises and delights around every corner.

In a world where music can sometimes feel formulaic and safe, Floating Orange is a breath of fresh air. It's bold, it's unpredictable, and it's downright fun. So if you're in the mood for something a little different, do yourself a favour and give this album a spin. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
