The Samuel Jackson Five – A Passage to Elsewhere [CD]
Description
Norwegian instrumental art/prog/post-rock quintet The Samuel Jackson Five return with their first full length album in nearly a decade, "A Passage to Elsewhere", it's their most expansive and exploratory work to date, and the first release in collaboration with Norwegian label Karisma Records. While associated with the more cinematic and textural post-rock scene, The Samuel Jackson Five have since their 2004 debut "Same Same But Different" always operated on the outside of the genre's gravitational pull. Continuing their open-minded musical journey, the band fully embraces their instrumental roots this time. Moving away from the vocal experiments as heard on "The Samuel Jackson Five" (2012) and "Ghost Karaoke" (2017), they've now returned to a purely instrumental format with renewed focus and ambitions. Drawing from Kosmische Musik, '70's progressive rock, vintage library music, the jazz-inflected post-rock of Chicago and Toronto, imaginary folk, and experimental electronica, the result is a rich sonic tapestry. Rather than building towards predictable crescendos, "A Passage to Elsewhere" unfolds as an adventurous ever-shifting melodic journey, inviting the listener deeper in with each turn. Staying true to the DIY ethos of earlier albums, the album was produced and recorded by the group, led by multi-instrumentalist Thomas Meidell and drummer Sven Andrén, the latter handling mixing at Klokkereint, his studio right outside Gjøvik. Featuring a star team of musicians from the Norwegian prog, metal and experimental music scene: The Chronicles of Father Robin, Tusmørke, and Suburban Savages. With contributions by a cast of great guest musicians and friends, some recurring as saxophonist Dag Stiberg (Trollfest, Now We've Got Members) and violinist Magnus Nielsen (Magnus Moriarty™), and other new faces like Ola Mile Bruland (Actionfredag, Jordsjø), Åsa Ree (Meer) and experimental musician Jenny Berger Myhre.
