Future Sounds Of Jazz Vol. 16

Future Sounds of Jazz Vol. 16 is both a forecast and a wormhole. Across two discs, Michael Reinboth and Michael Rütten move through jazz, dub, electronic music, improvisation, and psychedelia with the intuitive logic of a late-night DJ set. The result is a strange, elastic universe of DJ Oil, Bitchin Bajas, Booker Stardrum, Nico Zam, Ilhan Ersahin, and Momoko Gill—and a reminder that the future of jazz remains gloriously undefined.

Protomartyr :: Hotel Usona

Protomartyr’s seventh album Hotel Usona (short for United States of North America) creates a fitting soundtrack as the country is pummeled by bad reviews. The Detroit veteran band envisions their homeland as a decrepit hotel where one of the TV channels is a live feed from Trump-Kennedy Center. The hotel is coincidentally located in Anacita, a fictional coastal town created by Casey for 2017’s Relatives in Descent. It’s the kind of place where the “liberal-minded close their eyes and dream of technology and kombucha.”
