District Five - Decoy '2018

Tracks list

All in their twenties, these four young men are currently at the top tip of the
Swiss jazz scene. District Five has taken time off after their debut album, the
antithesis of short-term project culture. Now, with Decoy, they do justice to
the album s title, throwing us a seductive bait. The aim behind the album is to
transcend conventional jazz and offer a statement; it was to sound different
from the experience of District Five live, using the possibilities of studio
recording to mine the wealth of electronic-based sounds the quartet hears around
them. Whether flowing calmly along or sweeping weightlessly through the expanses
of ambient soundscapes, whether the concentrated energy of free improvisation
shatters the song structure or eruptive clusters of sound and hard-edged grooves
emphasise the physical aspects of the music, in the club-friendly anthem Maths ,
the multi-layered sound art of District Five is compellingly direct and builds
up a hypnotic momentum.
