about

After the broad success of “Bite My Blues”, Canadian saxophonist Peter Van Huffel’s Berlin band Gorilla Mask is back with more music; not to cover the foot imprints of his previous work but going beyond a good number of steps. You can’t say anymore that this project consists of a mix of jazz with punk and metal – the kind of sonic assault heard on “Iron Lung” has an identity of its own, inclusively because it’s not only a projection of raw energy. There’s purpose, method and order in a unique way, even if the alto sax makes us think of an Arthur Blythe high on methamphetamines. Roland Fidezius’ and Rudi Fischerlehner’s repetitive patterns give focus to the overall chaos of dissonance, atonality, free flowing multiphonics and electric noise, turning this post-everything proposal into a wonder of sound sculpting and form made from debris: a divergent, deviant, subversive, perverse masterpiece which exposes the human face behind the gorilla mask.

wow, who is sofia jernberg? this shit kills. my discovery of 2019 (which this album helped me with) was learning just how devastatingly loud a saxophone can be on its own as well as how much it adds to noisey music. the final track really drives that point home with the onslaught of dual saxophone from gustafsson and møster alongside sauniers ferocious drumming, hanas distorted guitar bliss, and, personal highlight, jernbergs fearless singing. ronnie dion

Far above anything in the genre, 'Synchromysticism' is a storm of rolling kinetic energy, airtight riffage, and (mis)firing synapses. And it's sooo muuuch fuuuuuun! Subviolet Records
