JazzThing

Since their Whirlwind debut as an acoustic trio (Cohesion, 2012), Partikel has progressively pushed at the developmental possibilities, and 2015’s String Theory – augmenting the line-up of Duncan Eagles(saxophones), Max Luthert (double bass) and Eric Ford (drums) with string quartet – generated significant interest, spawning numerous gigs both in the UK and internationally. The band have built up a reputation as being "one of the best and most consistent of contemporary British jazz groups." Ian Mann ☆☆☆☆ and "One of the most exciting trios in improvised music" Jazz Podium. Live experiences (including a month touring China) saw the band’s sound climbing to new heights, enhanced by the work of violinist Benet McLean and super-sized with the creative blends enabled by digital harmonizers, pedals and programming.
So vibrant new release Counteraction shifts up yet another gear, with music crafted specifically around this forward-thinking approach, while also introducing atmospheric electric guitarist Ant Law, flautist and baritone saxophonist Anna Cooper, cellist Matthew Sharp and electronic sound designer Sisi Lu.
