"uncut & lo-fi" by Reform (Jazz Artist from Sweden)

"uncut & lo-fi" is the 5th and latest release from the Swedish group of 9 musicians known as Reform. They have been described as "Swedish psychedelic jazz-rock for the open minded." But what this album really sounds like is excited instrumental psychedelic garage-rock that takes cues from jazz in its improvisation and sense of order. The opener, "Lion Bar," is a wild track with boisterous and echo-laced drums, plus a plethora of instruments and sounds that makes for an energetic clamor skillfully placed somewhere between music and noise. In "Uncle Urri 2" they slow things down with a more reserved blues beat overlaid with soulful, yet highly spacey, harmonica and guitar playing. For "Spooky" they give us a song that sounds like a blend of jazz and jam-band styled rock, recorded loudly in their unique "lo-fi" manner. If you are a fan of experimental instrumental music, or intrigued by garage-rock that dares to employ the methods of jazz jams, then Reform's CD, "uncut & lo-fi," is an album you would certainly be interested in hearing.

Yesterday Susanne, Peter and I went to see Wasa Express perform at Stampen. It was great! They played two brand new tunes. One was called Harry Schein's Impossible Mission and the other one I can't remember the name of. It is nice to hear new tunes and not only New Tuna. I was the guest bassist on one tune from their latest album, OS 2032, called Ett Brev (A Letter). On the original they play over a recording of Nils Ferlin's voice from 1944 reciting a poem called Ett Brev. Per Bruun, the bass player, recited and therefore I played bass. It was great playing with them!
