Our Take

In Umbrella Weather, Led Bib's latest offering, the band once again proves that they are not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of contemporary jazz. The album is a whirlwind of eclectic influences, from free jazz to punk rock, with a healthy dose of humour and irreverence thrown in for good measure.

Opening track "Goodbye", sets the tone for the album with its frenetic energy and experimental soundscapes. The band's tight-knit ensemble playing is on full display here, with each member shining in their own unique way. The saxophone work on tracks like "Siren"Scream" and "Washed Up" is particularly impressive, adding a layer of unpredictability and excitement to the proceedings.

Led Bib's willingness to blur the lines between genres is evident throughout the album, with tracks like "Spaceship" and "Ghost Light" seamlessly blending elements of electronic music and traditional jazz. The result is a sound that is at once familiar and fresh, challenging listeners to rethink their preconceived notions of what jazz can be.

While Umbrella Weather may not be everyone's cup of tea, for those willing to take the plunge into Led Bib's eclectic world, the rewards are plentiful. This is a band that knows how to have fun with their music, and it shines through in every note. So grab your umbrella and prepare for a wild ride with Led Bib – you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Led Bib

Led Bib are a quintessentially British musical enigma, blending avant-garde jazz with punk rock sensibilities to create a sound that is as unpredictable as it is compelling. Led by the enigmatic drummer Mark Holub, this London-based sextet have been tearing up the jazz scene since their formation in 2003. Led Bib's music is a cacophony of chaos and beauty, with intricate time signatures and blistering solos colliding in a musical whirlwind that is as exhilarating as it is exhausting. Their live performances are legendary for their intensity and energy, with Holub's frenetic drumming driving the band forward like a madman possessed. But don't let the madness fool you - Led Bib are also accomplished musicians, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table. Liran Donin's thunderous basslines provide the backbone for the band's sound, while Chris Williams and Pete Grogan's saxophone interplay adds a touch of elegance to the chaos. Led Bib have received critical acclaim for their genre-defying sound, with their album "Bring Your Own" being nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2009. Their latest album, "Umbrella Weather", sees the band pushing the boundaries of jazz even further, incorporating elements of electronica and post-rock into their already eclectic sound. In a world where musical boundaries are constantly being pushed and redefined, Led Bib stand out as true innovators, unafraid to take risks and push the limits of what jazz can be. With their uncompromising vision and fearless approach to music-making, Led Bib are a band that demands to be heard - and once you've experienced their sonic assault, you'll never look back.
