Vijay Iyer Trio + Thom Yorke + Nils Petter...


Read how Thom Yorke "deliberately turns it inside-out" in his new project Atoms for Peace here. If you're not already up to date, RHCP's Flea is on bass. Looking forward to seeing how his funk licks evolve and adapt.

Also in Atoms For Peace:
Keyboards: Nigel Godrich (Radiohead’s producer)
Drums: Joey Waronker (Beck's band)
Perc: Mauro Refosco (David Byrne’s band)

Vijay Iyer Trio's Mystic Brew
- Catchy head
- Smooth juicy piano chords
- Wonderful use of single notes to break up predictable rhythm
- Effective repetition of major triads




Also listen to: Imagine, Galang

Nils Petter Molvaer's Trip
- Warm airy trumpet
- Starts faraway
- Comes back to earth with some groovy, grounded bass
- Contemporary and accessible despite electric guitar wanderings in the background




Also listen to: Song of Sand, Sober, Hover
