Pyramid (Vinyl 12″ Album) – Jaga Jazzist

Jaga Jazzist have gone back to basics on their new album, ‘Pyramid’ . well, as back to basics as an eight-piece instrumental prog-jazz ensemble can go. Eschewing the studio tinkering which characterised their previous 2015 album, ‘Starfire’, Jaga Jazzist wrote and recorded the four lengthy opuses of ‘Pyramid’ in a fortnight. This approach has helped them to make a more immediate and driven record, one that combines their typical sonic adventurousness with some of the most potent grooves of any Jaga Jazzist album.
