Our Take

In a sea of music releases, JOHN ZORN's latest album, Full Fathom Five, is a tidal wave of eclectic sounds that will leave you riding the wave of musical exploration.

From the moment you press play, you are transported into a whirlpool of avant-garde jazz, experimental rock, and everything in between. ZORN's ability to seamlessly blend genres is nothing short of impressive, giving listeners a sonic experience unlike any other.

The tracks on Full Fathom Five are a wild ride from start to finish, with each song feeling like a mini adventure in its own right. From the frantic energy of "Shipwreck" to the haunting melodies of "Davy Jones' Locker," every moment is a rollercoaster of emotion and sound.

ZORN's mastery of improvisation is on full display throughout the album, with each note feeling like a spontaneous burst of creativity. The musicians he has assembled for this project are truly top-notch, with their performances adding layers of depth and texture to the already rich tapestry of sounds.

Overall, Full Fathom Five is a bold and daring statement from one of music's most inventive minds. It may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to dive in headfirst, the rewards are boundless. So grab your life jacket and get ready for a musical journey like no other.
