This album contains many of my favourite genre of music, whether that be funk, rock, blues, jazz or psychedelic (with a tad of hip-hop thrown in) all melded into what I consider the best album of 2025 (so far!).
That combination of style might feel like the band cannot make it’s mind up what it is but in fact they use those influences to create something that is very much their own.
Little Barrie (the fabulous Barrie Cadogan on guitar and Lewis Wharton on Bass) collaborating with drummer Malcom Catto to produce this cracker of an album.
I have seen this album described as having a “raw, understated and minimal feel” which is pretty accurate which I guess is not that strange when you consider you only have three instruments on show here.
It’s always useful to tell people who they sound like. If that’s appropriate. The band tend to hit a great groove and stick to it blending elements of Silver Apples with Can, with a funky drum and bass combo.
Throw a little Hendrix esque guitar in there and an occasional Stone Roses groove and you have a sound that I find captivating.
A couple of later tracks venture into Led Zep territory as well as a little discordant jazzy stuff.
The album certainly has many nods to the past but feels like something that is completely new. Quite a feat. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2025]

Yazz is a British / Bahraini jazz artist and this is her fourth album. I love bands like Sons Of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming & Ezra Collective & Yazz slots straight into that illustrious company.
I find this album very interesting with its mix of Persian and progressive jazz influences it takes you on an interesting journey through Jazz’s heritage. When listening to this album you certainly get the feel of the Bahrain influence in the music. Not everyone may feel this when listening to this album but it conjures up a portrait of the desert for me.
There’s complexity and real beauty in the music here. It can be hard to keep track of all the instruments on display here but they all play their part in creating a fabulous sound. There’s a great groove to the album as well which carries you along effortlessly.
This feels like the very definition of a fusion album. Arabic, modern jazz and Yazz’s trumpet playing. Phenomenal. Yazz also allows the other musicians on the album to have their share of the limelight.
The album as a whole works really well. A great piece of work [First added to this chart: 04/17/2025]
