Our Take

The latest offering from TRIO HLK, "Standard Time," is like a musical rollercoaster ride through the realms of jazz, fusion, and electronic experimentation. Imagine if Herbie Hancock, Squarepusher, and The Bad Plus got together for a jam session on a spaceship orbiting Mars – that's the kind of mind-bending sonic territory we're dealing with here.

From the ethereal keys of Richard Harrold to the frenetic drumming of Ant Law and the dynamic basslines of Richard Kass, this trio of virtuosos takes listeners on a wild and unpredictable journey that is equal parts exhilarating and puzzling. Tracks like "Chronos" and "Vortex" showcase the group's technical prowess and ability to seamlessly blend complex time signatures and intricate melodies with a sense of reckless abandon.

But don't let the avant-garde nature of their music fool you – there is a method to the madness of TRIO HLK. Each track on "Standard Time" is meticulously crafted with precision and care, creating a sonic landscape that is both challenging and rewarding for the listener.

Overall, "Standard Time" is a bold and daring statement from TRIO HLK that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in contemporary jazz. Strap in, hold on tight, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey like no other.
