The brand new Soft Machine studio album ‘Thirteen’ has now been recorded, mixed and mastered and it is time to get it ready to send out into the world. Our first studio album since 2023’s ‘Other Doors’ and our first with new drummer Asaf Sirkis, who has made such a big impression on recent tours.
The album also features John Etheridge (now 50 years with the band!), Theo Travis, and Fred Baker. Special guests on the album include organist Pete Whittaker on two tracks and Daevid Allen on glissando guitar on one track. Of course Daevid Allen was a founding member of the band, but has not appeared on a Soft Machine recording for sixty years! So this is something very special.
Atmospheric improvisations, psychedelic free jazz, powerful jazz rock, screaming guitar, hypnotic looped alto flutes, fretless bass grooves, deep melodies and experimental electronic music, Soft Machine continues to pursue its musically ambitious, wide ranging, jazz based but without boundaries agenda in creating the most ambitious and adventurous heartfelt music we can make. The band hopes you like it as much as they enjoyed making it. With cover image by artist Esra Kizir Gokcen and design by Carl Glover.
