Fazer

Fazer’s music cannot simply be described as Jazz; the Munich band is shaped by the experimental pop music of Talk Talk, the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti, the Krautrock of Can and the dub techno of Rhythm & Sound, but masterfully take aspects of all this and more, to create their own sonic identity. Fazer are Matthias Lindermayr on trumpet, Paul Brändle on guitar, Martin Brugger on bass, Simon Popp and Sebastian Wolfgruber on drums. Coming from different musical backgrounds, the members of Fazer met while studying jazz at the Academy for Music and Theatre in Munich. bit.ly

NEW MUSIC from the Munich-based quintet; the members met while studying jazz at the Academy for Music and Theatre -- their experimental sound is driven by having two drummers in the group! 'Playing with two sitting drummers, a vigorous groove runs through all of Fazer's music, whilst guitar, trumpet and bass play off each other, gradually developing textures and harmonies. Having recorded their previous album Nadi in London, the quintet stayed in Munich to write and record their new album, Plex, over two months of intense sessions. During the recording process, they played the new material live in the room, until they were able to play and record in a relaxed and self-confident way. The advantage of this way of working is that the magical first take can make it onto an album - a tactical move that worked out several times for 'Plex', as the album tremors with energetic charge.' -- tinyurl.com Pre-order "Plex" on Bandcamp: fazercamp.bandcamp.com

“Grenadier is a perfect gateway to the Fazer universe. It ticks all the boxes: a catchy melody, hot double drumming, sparse and steady bass. With a distinct Ethio Jazz vibe it’s one of the songs that are most fun to play live.” - Fazer fazercamp.bandcamp.com
