High Pulp - Pursuit Of Ends Vinyl

Indeed, there's something defiant, something utterly liberating about High Pulp's remarkable, Pursuit Of Ends. Drawing on punk rock, shoegaze, hip-hop, and electronic music, the band's brand of experimental jazz is both vintage and futuristic all at once, hinting at times to everything from Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to Aphex Twin and My Bloody Valentine. The songs balance meticulous composition with visceral spontaneity, and the performances are nothing short of virtuosic, fuelled by raw, ecstatic horn runs ducking and weaving their way around thick bass lines and dizzying percussion.
