After the resounding success of their last album Garden Island, released in 2021, the octet hailing from Tenerife is back with a new album titled Ganzfeld. While Garden Island drew inspiration from the philosophy of César Manrique and his groundbreaking ecological work on the island of Lanzarote, for this new album, Gaf & The Love Supreme Arkestra turn their creative gaze to the lowland areas of northern Tenerife aka Isla Baja (the low island). Here, they envision a retro-futuristic soundtrack for a misty coastal drive, filled with humid atmospherics and expansive jams featuring their trademark blend of avant-jazz, psychedelia, and freestyle rock. Evoking a natural synergy to the proceedings, this new work presents the octet in a more ethereal tip than its predecessor. Saxophones, trumpet, bass, guitar, synths and marimba come together with added winds (Herreño and Vietnamese flutes) to create a wide spectrum of auditory escapism that, were it not for the band's aforementioned natural instincts could result into a nightmarish vision. Instead, they create a holistic esoteric sound where sea and earth come together in ecstatic ways conjuring images of peace and menace whilst never letting their raw, explosive energy go unchecked. Another standalone work from a band that rejects banality, constant in their pursuit of experimentation at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Drive on! Music written and produced by GAF Recorded live in 2020 in Tenerife Canary Islands. Produced by Mladen Kurajica. Mixed by Jorge Lozano. Mastering by Daniel Baez. Artwork Felipe González Cabezas. Vinyl pressed in Spain.
