Album Description

You are in a Kitchen Filled with Plants as the Sun Streams Inwards is the debut record from Los Angeles-based experimental jazz collective You, Me, + the Whales Sextet. The group is co-led by brothers Zac Burgenbauch (guitar) and Devin Burgenbauch (bass), and features David Otis (saxophones), Elif Dinçer (harp/electronics), M A Harms (vibraphone/percussion), and Lucas Lenny (drumset). Bringing together American primitive guitar textures with spiritual jazz, open improvisations, field recordings, microtonal drones, and a lot of bells, the ensemble weaves through Alice Coltrane-esque delicacy and frenetic improvisation a la the Cecil Taylor Unit and Don Cherry. Otis sweetly floats amidst Lenny’s running beats and Devin’s rapidity, while Harms and Dinçer move with drips of sound around Zac’s yearning John Fahey-inspired folk melodies. The result transports listeners to a textured dream-scape of kinetic energy and beauty.
