Turbo Semelle - Stomp Them (2021)

The debut album from this band from France.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths and saxophone.

This is so far the only album from this band and it has been released through Bandcamp. Hopefully, this is not their one and only album.

The band has listed both metal and jazz as their music genres on their Bandcamp page. With good reason.... 

The rampant saxophone, who is the dominant instrument here, takes us into both the Frank Zappa and jazz territories. Add some zeuhl and Canterbury scene too and you get the picture.

The guitar riffs are most definate well into the prog metal territory.

Most of the music is jazz influenced though. The prog metal part is always there in the background.

The music is still pretty melodic and playful. Very playful most of the time and there is a great sense of humour throughout this album.

The music is decent enough and that makes this album well worth checking out if you are into something pretty weird and playful music.
