Blumen​/​With a Smile - Banana Split EP

by Blumen/With a Smile

supported by
Alan Terrill

Alan Terrill Astonishingly complex and tightly played music. Odd time signatures all over the place, but very musical too. Pianist Richard Blumenthal plays bass and violin (and maybe cello) as well, while drummer James Knoerl sounds like he's been tutored by the sadist in 'Whiplash'. Absolutely essential. Favorite track: Alalia.

Can This Even Be Called Music? Banana Split EP is a really good and fun listen. I’d personally prefer if it had kept the eccentricity of the first track throughout it all, but still this is very much deserving of your attention.

about

Blumen

jazzcore.

pianist richard blumenthal & drummer james knoerl unite to try and confuse each other.

taking cues equally from mathrock, modern modal jazz, and progmetal, but there's no guitars so probably no audience either.
