THE COMET IS COMING - CHANNEL THE SPIRITS

• the comet is coming: channel the spirits
      (2016, cd, uk, the leaf label)

UK band The Comet Is Coming, or TCIC, released its first album last year.
Electronic jazz à la Stuff.

When Philippe mentioned the band last week, I thought I had heard the name before...
A bit of digging in my memory showed that I had seen them on tv.
On Dutch radio show Vrije Geluiden last year when they did a festival special.

The Comet Is Coming features

• King Shabaka: saxophone
• Danalogue The Conquerer: synthesizer
• Betamax Killer: drums

Don't you love these aliases?

• King Shabaka = Shabake Hutchings
• Danalogue The Conquerer = Dan Leavers
• Betamax Killer = Max Hallett

"Channel The Spirits" is a superb introduction to this trio.
Powerful psychedlic jazz. With a nice beat. The music has this nice flow. Really like it.
