<a href=”http://hypercolorband.bandcamp.com/album/hypercolor”>Hypercolor by Hypercolor</a> Hypercolor is a NYC trio making its self-titled debut on “downtown” figurehead John Zorn’s Tzadik imprint later this month. Unsurprisingly, the threesome comprised of guitarist Eyal Maoz, bassist James Ilgenfritz, and drummer Lukas Ligeti (all of whom are accomplished composers and improvisers) delivers the label’s trademark brand of controlled improvisation. However, the band’s deceptively simple setup proves to be another welcome take on Zorn’s “game piece” mentality; the result a work of frantic jazz-rock that courts entropy for the entirety of its playtime. This act is aptly named – Hypercolor will likely be among the most vibrant blasts of rock music this year.
Look out for this thing, due to drop 15 January via Tzadik.
