Oiapok - OisoLün (2023)

The debut album from this band from France.

The band is a nine piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, vibraphone, xylophone, bass, guitars, harp, keyboards, trombone and vocals.

This is a new band too me and the scene. It is the new project of the Ske and Camembert bass player. A project he did all the compositions and had full control.

The music is Canterbury jazz. 

The music is quirky and has got a lot of female vocals. Playful vocals with a lot of sounds and not so many words, if any words at all. There is also some folk rock influences and themes here. Not to mention eclectic prog and Canterbury prog.

The music is really elegant and classy. 

Both the jazz and the prog rock fans will get their fills on this album. A fourty minutes long album. 

I hope we will hear a lot more from this band.

This is a very good album indeed and one to check out.

3.5 points
