ICEMAN FURNISS QUARTET (+1)
—————————————-
Harry Furniss (cornet)
Ant Brown (bass)
Tom Bryan (guitar)
Harry Irvine (drums)
+ 2nd drummer Marcus Jeffery
https://linktr.ee/icemanfurnissquartet
Originally recorded between 2017 - 2019
both with the current lineup & previous; it’s
the first of three albums out by the quartet in
‘22. All fully improvised, the original material
combining influence from avant garde ‘weird’
to electronic n shoegaze ambience to punk to many
no wave & free jazz heroes was put through production
and effects for the first time. The result is a pretty new filmic
sound and in most places nothing like the live set. The name
HardBoiled comes from the noir fiction genre and loner jazz - like
atmosphere in films based upon it ~-~-~-~-~-~-:_;-_;_-~-~-|-;_;_-
