Having debuted on last year’s sold out Triple Vinyl ‘Door To The Cosmos’ LP with the kicking Jonny Buck Buck, Edrix Puzzle are back with a thrilling debut EP ‘Rise To Eris’.
With this offering Edrix Puzzle explore cosmic themes and energies in the territory of noir instrumental jazz with cinematic energy being unpinned with driving breaks and meanderings in psyche fusion. Extra Terrestrial landscapes akin to ‘Mwandishi’ era Herbie Hancock are explored and mapped. The band's core of Drums, Sax, Double Bass and Percussion are augmented with spoken word, guitar and synths. Project founder and lead, Nathan ‘Tugg’ Curran (Drums & Synths) is joined by long time collaborators Oli Savill (Percussion) and Martin Slattery (Bass Clairnet & Sax) (who are also members of Tugg’s Planet Battagon project), as well as Tom Mason (Double Bass) and Josh Barry (Spoken Word) for this more acoustic, analog expression and surveying of extra terrestrial forms with sparse synth manipulation and a sweet seasoning of electronic affectations.
