Hyperdrive

Excentrical in instrumentation, vital in appearance and boldly oscillating between hellish grooves and celestial indulgencies, Loranz Raab's :xy band is the ideal vehicle for extemporations between fever dreams and extasy. The :XY band, impresses through the ease, it dives into dangerous worlds of sound, where soft textures change to boiling grooves and almost become nerve-wrecking in the end. It is up to the listeners whether they prefer to detect elements of cool jazz, fusion, funk or even acoustic drum'n'bass in it. The airy pieces of the :xy band are ambiguous without losing substance.
