Contagious is the self-titled debut of Berlin avant-garde trio Andrea Neumann, Sabine Ercklentz, and Mieko Suzuki, produced by Rabih Beaini (Ra.H) and released via his newly active Morphine label.
Following from Beaini’s role in the more percussive, jazz-based experiments of Upperground Orchestra, he adapts his electronic palette to embrace esteemed improvisers, Andrea Neumann (Inside Piano), Sabine Ercklentz (Trumpet), and Mieko Suzuki (Turntables), as they probe fissures of electronic music, avant-garde noise, and free jazz on their debut volley.
Their dynamically massed sound harks back to the freeform styles of Italy’s legendary Gruppo d’Improvvisazzione Nuova Consonanza across 9 nine intrepid explorations that veer from aggressive yet spaced-out cosmic jazz in ‘Bearded Dragon’, to scratchy, insectoid rhythms and noisy abstraction in ‘Moon Wrasse’, and hollowed-out, creepy midnight styles in ‘Bluebanded Goby’, whereas ‘Peppermint Shrimp’ points to proper electro-jazz skronk, and and the collapsing drums of ‘Whiptail Lizard’ ultimately lead up to the gripping textures and lurking drones of ‘Banana Slug’ in a way recalling Emptyset’s recent, brilliant efforts in a similar, cranky headspace.
