New The Comet is Coming album: Electro-jazz for a generation weaned on rave and grime

Praise the universe! - the London electro-jazz band The Comet Is Coming have a new album out, 'Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery'. It is their second full length, next to two EPs, not to mention awesome Sons of Kemet and Shabaka Hutchings and his Ancestors, band's saxophonist's other projects. "This is hardcore music for a generation weaned on rave and grime, jazz’s cutting edge. The comet isn’t coming, it’s arrived" - Observer says in a review. "Urgent, sophisticated, and humorous. It actually delivers the music of tomorrow via the traditions of past and present; it's a convulsive exercise in the articulation of inner and outer space" - All Music. "A keen intent to remind us that jazz started out as dance music" - The Line of Best Fit. Listen to their new song 'Summon the Fire' here.
