Root 7

by Blood Quartet

supported by

Der Ohlsen "One thing I always love while being confronted with genre fusionists is when I cannot really tell from which side they are initially coming. Of course putting “quartet” into the band name is an indicator of roots in jazz, where this practice just is much more common than in rock, but judging from the music alone it gets harder to locate [Blood Quartet] in one of these two supercategories."

about

An outstanding musical treat that starts from the instrumental base of the modern jazz quartet and takes it to the territory of experimentation and electronics. Blood Quartet sound more luminous and rhythmic than ever, diving into uncharted terrain. This results in an exceptional range of genres that play with the form between the classic and the contemporary, and that extend the creative spectrum of the band towards new styles, such as krautrock and North African music. The result of this process has given rise to nine themes, each one baptized with the title of a literary work by some reference writers of the members of the quartet, in order to add more roots of meaning, more shadows of influence.

台灣謎景 Music from Taiwan Mystery
by Mong Tong 夢東

supported by 5 fans who also own “Root 7”

At points, this reminds me of the bands that defined early chillwave, like Ducktails, Memory Tapes, or Predator Vision; the guitars are similarly reverb-y and chorus-drenched, chords splashing out lazily and slow, swaggers subverted into saunters. However, the Eastern melodic flavor gives this more of an overtly mystical aesthetic, and the instrumentation and compositional elements are far more exotic and interesting. Highly recommended.

A sonic exploration into various percussive and live elements. There are moments that haunt, whilst others that display fragility in Vica Pacheco's performances. A truly wonderful album! chromasy
