Those who heard Song Fwaa, heard edge, originality and musical humour so cunning that no weasel could better it. John Fenton, Creative Jazz Club (NZ)
Song Fwaa are launching their second album Sons Of No Guns, For We Are Anomalous, following on the hooves of their debut release, Ligeti’s Goat, described by various reviewers as passionate, explosive, tranquil, sublime, abstract, eclectic, fiercely cohesive. Their second album sounds a unit burnished by intensive composing, performing, touring and recording. Obsessive ostinatos, quirky melodies, delicious silences, and flurries of freedom provide the vehicle for three unique virtuosic improvisors. David Reaston is an original with a wide palette, an experimenter with timbre and tuning and a fascinating compositional mind. Jamie Cameron plays with perverse grooves and hits a lovely melody. Martin Kay combines the interstitial with visceral directness and has a fondness for epic compositional form, even in miniature. Gambol on an evening of joyous and original sound!
