Steve Beresford | John Butcher | Terry Day | John Edwards | Thurston Moore - Stovelit Lines (January 2022 Shrike Records)

Recorded live at Iklectik Arts Lab in November 2017, Stovelit Lines captures a quintet of well respected improvisers from the wide pool of London talent; what could be labelled a super group. Previously released as a download only, Shrike Records are pleased to make this remarkable session available on CD. Three pieces were recorded, each demonstrating these band members thriving on this rare opportunity to work with each other. As they start to play, the sounds unfold, combine and open up to create new textures and configurations not heard before. It’s a thrilling listening experience, . The possibilities and aural combinations with these musicians are seemingly inexhaustible and full of intriguing playfulness and invention.
