natalemattioli Forse l'album più interessante degli ultimi anni. Veramente notevole.

Harsh Agarwal Svetlost has appeared from nowhere and just completely blown my mind. The world needs to sit up and take notice of this band. I think I might travel to Macedonia just to see them live!

about

"This is an album that’ll get into your bloodstream. This 11-piece ensemble is a throwback to the avant-garde big bands of the ‘70s, where chaos and raging intensity amplified sweet melodicism and a thundering groove. The Skopje, Macedonia ensemble Светлост (or Svetlost) radiate an energy that is positively infectious, with a rhythmic approach that borders on foot-tapping catchiness, and harmonies as warm as a fireplace in an Alaskan winter. And for an album with such a massive presence, the ensemble weaves all kinds of lovely textures into the fabric of the music, with four saxophonists, two trombonists, a pianist, and a minibrute keyboardist—and plenty of percussion to boot. This is one of the best things I’ve heard all year." - Dave Sumner, The Best Jazz on Bandcamp: September 2019"

"The 2019 release from the Skopje, Macedonia ensemble Светлост (or Svetlost) is a cathartic experience. The 11-piece ensemble modulates between a chaotic intensity and an uneasy serenity, skipping melodic fragments over a raging groove like stones across the waves. The connections between an individual and a work of art are as nuanced as the qualities that make us all individual people. It can be impossible to break it all down to cause-and-effect. Светлост cuts that Gordian knot right down the middle by letting everything out. Unguarded and sincere, the ensemble opens every possible avenue in order to connect with the listener. It’s a throwback to the avant-garde big bands of the ‘70s that feels immediate and relevant to us today." - Dave Sumner, The Best Jazz Albums of 2019

Into the wild
by Goran Kajfes Tropiques

supported by 28 fans who also own “Odron Ritual Orchestra”

Still Tropiques but with a soft evolution. The piano is replaced (largely) with bass clarinet. It makes their sound more odd if thats possible? The guy who plays the clarinet can reach amazing screaming highs for a bass instrument! This album has multiple tracks unlike the last, yet it could still be one continuous piece if Goran wanted to mix it that way. The psychedelic keys really push this free jazz into a trippy space. I can’t stop playing this! Crinklechips

So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start. Hobie Anthony

Universal Beings
by Makaya McCraven

supported by 25 fans who also own “Odron Ritual Orchestra”

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
