Drolleries

by Bloor

supported by

Mighttheone Bloor is one of those bands you comb through your album library for a reference point, it is many things, and to cite one would do a disservice once the next song begins. Free is a given, a repetition establishes a pattern, the pattern indicates a direction, a left is taken, somehow you are back at the point of departure. One could suggest a seatbelt. Favorite track: Defacer.

👽🍹 2/4 of Little Women [drums/guitar] picking up where they left off with a new saxophonist. Imagine a free jazz band comprised of crack addicted punks on a roller coaster. Buckle up and wear a fireproof suit.

Can This Even Be Called Music? Amazing and bewildering jazz effort. ctebcm.com

Jakub Knera Bloor seem to be consistent to the extreme – playing with verve and freshness, avoiding routine. “Drolleries” show that the point of departure and listening to each other are key, together with a form that is not excessively long, so as not to become tiring. This is a vibrating and resonating album, which combines the anger of punk with a courageous look at jazz, repetitions, raw sound and improvisation. Favorite track: Mollycoddled.
