Composed of synth player Piera Onacko, drummer and electronic artist Nathan Jones, and Mercury Prize nominated and Ivors Academy Award winning alto saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi (SEED Ensemble, Kokoroko, Nérija), the trio have earned a reputation as one of the UK scene’s must-see artists performing alongside live, reactive visuals made by multi-faceted artist David Stanley (GURIBOSH). These performances have seen the band play to audiences across the UK and Europe at the likes of London Unwrapped (King’s Place), Supersonic Festival, Lancaster Jazz Festival, Enjoy Jazz Festival, and more.
Speaking on the single Piera Onacko comments: “As well as being the leading track on the EP, Polytunnel was the first composition we put together as a band. Using a process of group improvisation and plenty of experimentation with tech, we are thrilled to be putting out this track as a taste of what’s to come on the full EP.”
Formed around semi-free improvisation with spiralling, 70s krautrock-influenced grooves, lead single “Polytunnel” showcases the intensity of the trio’s forthcoming EP which is mirrored in their live shows. With heavy electronic bass coming against untamed yet precise drumming, whilst evocative synth drones build and swirl around Cassie Kinoshi’s passionate sax riffing.
