Bleep

Hot on the heels of the first instalment of their Lower East Suite, Onyx Collective drop the second selection. On Lower East Suite Part Two, the hotly-tipped New York jazz crew do another fine job of synthesising free jazz, field recordings, hip-hop, spoken word and more offshoot styles from America’s classical music. Running together as a cohesive whole - it is a suite, after all - … Part Two showcases the group’s burgeoning mode of expression. Capable of impressionistic tone poems (‘Steam Rooms’), slapping beats (‘Skate Park’) and even excursions into music concrete (‘Shed Meditations’), this is another grand statement from a band who are going places.
