about

Marking the first release under the band’s own label, Empirical Music, Indifference Culture is the first of a two-part EP set of compositions that deal with the social evils, culture wars and political upheaval that have become the ‘new normal’ of life in 2018.

With their unique commitment to group improvisation and musical risk-taking, this set of music retains the band's quartet format and captures the exhilarating intensity of Empirical’s live performances, which the band have honed through performing more than 130 live sets in the informal setting of their ‘Pop-up Jazz Lounge’.

Tom Farmer recalls the recording process: ‘We went into the studio soon after one of our pop-up residencies. After such an intense run of gigs we were completely fired up and it was a case of ‘’let’s just play!’’’

Shaney Forbes explains further: ‘Even though the four us have been playing music together for more than ten years, we are still always excited to explore the creative possibilities that come out of our instrumentation and the fact that all four of us contribute to the music. It actually feels like we’ve only just begun that exploration.’

Yeah, double what another reviewer wrote about polymeters, this is some really tremendous collective playing, in fact some of the best I’ve heard in a long while. I’m going to soak my head in some of this. I really appreciate how the drummer holds this group sound so nicely. Each member adds to the flame in such a brilliant manner! ronn branton
