Fazer is a jazz group based in Munich. According to their bio, The band combines African and Latin rhythms with dubby basslines and melancholic melodies. Their unusual lineup with two drummers (Simon Popp, Sebastian Wolfgruber), bass (Martin Brugger), guitar (Paul Brändle) and trumpet (Matthias Lindermayr) leaves an open space for unfettered improvisation. Through the concept of repetition and finely measured dynamics, Fazer create a drawing energy that can be felt directly at their live shows.
Plex is the new album which will be out on January 14th, 2022 via City Slang. We already shared “Cuentro“; “Dezember” is a new excerpt. Fazer explain: “December is both the best and the worst month of the year. We wanted to capture this ambivalence. The way the trumpet solo drops after two long minutes is our ‘In The Air Tonight’ moment. The video arguably depicts that same sense of dichotomy in modern life.”
