RELEASE DATE

This is the premiere collaboration between
Christopher Dell
and
Roman Flügel
(
Alter Ego
,
Eight Miles High
). Brace yourself for
Superstructure
, an incredible poly-stylistic fusion of jazz, hip-hop, glitch, dub and techno.
Flanger
devotees will be drawn to the pair's like-minded genre-defying approach, with Dell's sparkling vibes a recurring focal point throughout the album's nine adventurous tracks. The wild, vibes-drums duet "Miniaturisation" suggests the playful outcome of a lost
Frank Zappa
-meets-
Thelonious Monk
session, the mysterious "Wolkenbügel" marries clip-clopping tom-tom rhythms with
Hancock
-flavoured Rhodes ruminations, and "4 Door Body Cell" offers bright minimal techno bolstered by lashing handclaps and frenzied cymbal patterns. Distinguished by a rich array of soft gamelan tinklings and burnished trumpet musings, the jazz-tinged stuttering hip-hop of "Urban Practise" is equally arresting, with Dell's cascading vibes detouring into an oblique solo that would do Monk proud. Bookended by the glitchy soul-jazz and clipped syncopations of the warm opener "Superstructure" and the darker, hypnotic glitch-dub of "Dirty Realism," this remarkably assured album inhabits a unique computer-enhanced interzone of futuristic sounds.
