The irrepressible Cobblestone Jazz present the first single from their debut album >23 Seconds<, forthcoming in September on Wagon Repair. Cobblestone Jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer Tyger Dhula, keyboardists Danuel Tate and Mathew Jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. >Lime In Da Coco Nut< is a potion brimming with transformation. Cobblestone approach a simple key melody from every angle imaginable, with the harmonies, disharmonies, bubbling accents and rhythmic permutations exposing the otherworldly potential of the simplest of tunes. A sinister whispered vocal conducts affairs, seemingly flustered at its inability to contain the unruly elements in this wonderful experiment. On >Saturday Night< a deep synth line and ghostly vocoded moans progress through a jungle of percussion and falling echoed tones, steadily approaching a beat that enlivens like water on a desert journey, or rather, like vodka on a Saturday night. The dizzy finale spins around your ears, a bit like the ceiling after a particularly heavy weekend adventure… Be sure to be well rested before tackling this sensory safari
