Triosk
You may remember a couple of weeks ago I posted about a Sydney band called Pivot. Well, Triosk share a lot in common with Pivot - in fact, Adrian Klumpes and drummer extraordinaire Laurence Pike are in both Triosk and Pivot, and Richard Pike from Pivot co-produced Triosk’s amazing new album, The Headlight Serenade.
The music between the bands differs quite substantially though. While Pivot are a slightly more structured band, encompassing more rock music sensibilities, Triosk’s music is a far more avant-garde jazz affair with a strong emphasis on mood and atmosphere. Triosk are more akin to ambient (dare I say “post rock”) acts like Boards of Canada and Tortoise. The Headlight Serenade is a fantastic aural experience and a must of lovers of left-of-centre music. I hope to catch this trio live very soon. Check out the opening track ‘Visions IV’. Awesome stuff.

[...] Thanks to the lovely folks at The Leaf Label, we’ve been given an exclusive track off Be Still, the debut solo record by Adrian Klumpes, who you may know as the keyboardist from Triosk who I blogged about a little while ago. ‘Weave In and Out’ further explores similar territory to Triosk, with Autechre/Squarepusher-esque beats and rhymths beneath jazz-laden piano melodies. If you check out Adrian’s MySpace page, there’s another track off the album that’s more piano-based. ‘Weave In and Out’ demostrates Adrian’s experimental edge. Can’t wait to hear the album - I was a big fan of Triosk’s LP and I hope Be Still will be just as good! [...]
