Volk Soup 10p Jazz LP
Leeds band (or rather, a whole orchestra) VOLK SOUP releases their extremely fluid and beautifully chaotic debut LP, 10p Jazz. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read the premise of the band and started listening. As of right now, I still don’t know what to expect from the next song, and I mean it in the best way possible. This eight-piece (yes, you read it right, folks) has everything, singing saw included. I know what you’re thinking: “Psshh, Mama. You’re exaggerating again. They can’t have everything.” And you smirk as you add, “What about an electric drill? They have that too?” Why, yes dear. They do. This is one of those albums I don’t want to reveal too much about. But all that I can say is I’m very impressed by all those clever compositional choices, intense layers, and commitment to genre-bending. Check it out yourself and thank me later.
