Pyramind

2020 release. Jaga Jazzist return with the album Pyramid, where the legendary Norwegian eight-piece take a deep dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. It's their first album since 2015's Starfire, their ninth album in a career now spanning four decades, but it marks the group's debut on Brainfeeder, the LA-based imprint curated by Flying Lotus. On Pyramid, Jaga Jazzist have crafted a suitably cosmic sound to match their new label home, all the while nodding to forebears spanning from Fela Kuti to cult Japanese composer Isao Tomita. Each of the album's four longform entries evolves over carefully plotted movements, the tracks' technicolor threads dreamily unspooling.
