Flock, a British super jazz band formed by five of the hottest names in the jazz scene, returns with its long-awaited second album "Flock II"! Flock, a British super jazz band formed by five of the hottest names in the jazz scene, returns with their long-awaited second album "Flock II" on STRUT! With a stellar lineup including Bex Burch, Sarathy Korwar, Colocutor, Dele Sosimi, Unknown To Known, Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming / Soccer96) and Al MacSween (Kefaya), this new album showcases Flock's ability to push the limits of the composition process and create unique tracks in a united spirit. Recorded in 2022 in the serene landscape of the Welsh countryside, Flock II emerges as a fascinating departure from the debut album, which was recorded in a single day at London's Fish Factory.Surrounded by the enchanting surroundings of Druidstone, a mysterious coastal retreat in western Wales, the group embarked on a week-long immersive recording session. Here, they drew inspiration from unconventional structures and atmospheres to create unique "jump-off" devices for each piece of music. From diagrams utilizing shapes and repeating patterns, to rotating lights that emit speckles of light, to mobile apps that create intense strobe effects in front of each musician, each device set the state of mind and created a unique approach to composition. Studio Owz, housed in a renovated country church, provided the ideal environment for their creative process. From the intense to the hypnotic, the resulting songs take the listener on a highly personal journey, weaving their own story within a fantastical soundscape. The culmination of a strong and joyful bond between five of the UK's finest musicians, Flock II is another important recording that defies genre or category.The cover artwork and illustrations, by the talented Muhammad "Rofi" Fatchurofi, are a vague artistic complement ideal for Flock's work.
