SQM 030LP
|
Munich-based quintet Fazer return to Squama with their fourth studio album, Yamaha, a record that melds indie jazz and psychedelic rock with humor and depth. The band recorded the album in their own studio for the first time, taking time to experiment with sound and overdubs, while retaining the vigor of a live performance. Suspenseful two-voiced themes and tickling solo interplay by Matthias Lindermayr on trumpet and Paul Brändle on guitar is still at the core of Fazer's music, as well as the meticulous work of their two drummers Simon Popp and Sebastian Wolfgruber, whose grooves are more rooted in the rock vernacular compared to previous records. The restrained playing of bassist and producer Martin Brugger remains a grounding force that rounds out the sound of the group.

SQM 001G-LP
|
Green vinyl. Munich quintet Fazer release their second album, Nadi. Nadi follows the underground success of their self-released debut Mara (2018), which quickly sold out and became one of the most-streamed jazz records of the year. Moving freely between composition and improvisation, the band's spacious, organic sound pitches lyrical melodies from guitar and trumpet over double-drummer polyrhythmic grooves and dub-like basslines. The album title Nadi references a term rooted in traditional Indian medicine. Nadis are channels that connect points of intensity within the body. This reflects the band's feeling while playing of moving as one body. Contrary to the creation of Mara, both the writing and recording sessions for Nadi were completed in relatively short periods of time.

Seminal debut album by Bavarian jazz quintet Fazer released again on Squama Recordings. Originally released 2018. Polyrhythmic two-drummer grooves and dubby basslines lay the foundation for soothing melodies and extensive improvisation. While the musicians initially met during their jazz studies at the conservatory in Munich, the record reflects on a wide range of inspirations from West-African music and Guaguancó to dub-techno and krautrock. 180 gram vinyl; includes download.

FAZ 002EP

The German jazz quintet Fazer presents "White Sedan" with two remixes by Glenn Astro & Hodini and Werkha. The original track builds on a traditional Latin rhythm that is closely tied to dance. This is a special turn for an eclectic DJ-set.
