Artist: Jaga Jazzist
Title: One Armed Bandit
Label: Ninja Tune

Released: Now
Imagine if old 70z prog band Soft Machine had been born in California and raised on a mixture of jazz-funk and old skool Mo’Wax and you’re getting close to imagining the sound of Norway’s nine piece Jaga Jazzist.
No doubt confounding to some - nothing here seems to follow the regular dance music rule of ‘pick a beat then run with it’ - the Ninja stalwarts have hit on something heavy, unconventional and quite irresistible. With a live band rather than programmed feel, there’s oodles of character and very human playfulness , but they’re definitely as fun as they are experimental. A name for the ’must see live’ list.
5/5
