Weightless

by Archipelago

supported by

Steve Lawson ahh, this is fabulous! Takes so much of what's great about the progressive tendencies in UK jazz right now and feeds in a whole load of the jazz/improv/alt-rock crossover stuff that happens around the edge of the US jamband scene... Shades of Sadhappy/Skerik/Critters Buggin in here, but in a prog/jazz/post-rock vibe all of its own. Listen!
