Tangents - New Bodies - New Vinyl Lp 2018 Temporary Residence Pressing with Download - Post-Rock / Jazz

Street Date: 6/15/18

After an eventful year of touring throughout their native Australia - including runs with labelmates MONO and likemindedpioneers Tortoise - and featuring alongside the work of artist David Hockney at the National Gallery ofVictoria, post-everything quintet Tangents return with another album, and another stylistic detour. New Bodiescontinues Tangents' rummage through countless varieties of electronics, rock, dub, noise, and free improv jazz thatdefines the group's acclaimed aesthetic. The spacious dub of a plucked cello gives way to a minimalist breakbeattableau resting over rhythmic prepared piano; a staid electronic groove is gradually absorbed into washes of frenziedimprov; staccato synths are woven into tumbling avant-rock; and shimmering free drums phase over static loops ofpiano, guitar and cello. To quote FACT Magazine, "The quintet are so comfortable working with jazz, folk music, postrockand electronic music that it comfortably hangs in a space between them all." On New Bodies, that descriptionrings more intuitive and authentic than ever.
