Deep Tone Project: Torero Hallucinogene

By

View read count
The curiously titled "Torero Hallucinogene" (Hallucinogenic Bullfighter) is a haunting, brushes-steered ballad from Ukrainian outfit Deep Tone Project—the collaborative quartet of double bassist Konstantin Ionenko, tenor saxophonist Viktor Pavelko, guitarist Aleksandr Pavlov and drummer Pavel Galitsky. Two years on from its debut, Flow (Fancy Music, 2014), Deep Project's follow-up Onward found its home on Jordi Pujol's Fresh Sound New Talent label—a fitting stable for a quartet of international pedigree.

Pavelko's serpentine tenor lines quietly beguile throughout, but it is the solos of Pavlov, who plays with a delightful less-is-more economy, and Ionenko, whose richly resonant bass is splendidly foregrounded around the 05.40 mark, that seal the deal. A fine song from a consistently engaging album.
