Description
Their principal songwriter moving to Los Angeles isn’t the only reason it’s taken Norway’s Jaga Jazzist five years to follow-up their last studio LP, the sublime ‘One-Armed Bandit’. When you make music this complex, this expressive, this multi-faceted, it would be missing the point entirely to rush it.
While Jaga Jazzist’s sonic explorations can certainly be termed as jazz, they’re about as far away from Miles Davis be-bop as it’s possible to be, and to label them as merely ‘jazz’ would be to do them a disservice. There are elements of post-rock, electronica and prog peppering the five tracks that make up ‘Starfire’, and they all contribute to an album which provides you with something exciting and new each and every listen.’J
