Looking ahead to the autumn, and alas nothing to share as yet but a word on something I heard yesterday that I think you will be interested in when September release comes around. Having said that Krononaut's self titled debut Krononaut is hard to describe. I suppose it is ''futurejazz,'' that style that took its cue from Nils Petter Molvær's experiments in the 1990s, and amounts to a sparse, electronic coated ambient world that uses the language of jazz and much else for its effects and has a certain loose spaciousness and plenty of power to it.
To be released on the tak:til / Glitterbeat label, a record company who have worked with Seb Rochford recently on his new band Pulled By Magnets, Krononaut has Brian Eno guitarist Leo Abrahams and Spin Marvel drummer Martin France (pictured) at its core with quite a bunch of interesting collaborators from various backgrounds playing their part on a number of tracks and who include Tim Harries, Shahzad Ismaily, Matana Roberts and Arve Henriksen. Make a mental note for now.
