Munich quintet Fazer are set to release their second album ‘Nadi’ on 12th
April 2019. ‘Nadi’ follows the underground success of their self-released
debut ‘Mara’, which quickly sold out on vinyl and became one of the most
streamed jazz records of the year. Moving freely between composition and
improvisation, the band’s spacious, organic sound pitches lyrical melodies
from guitar and trumpet over double-drummer polyrhythmic grooves and dub-like
basslines.
The album title ‘Nadi’ references a term rooted in traditional Indian
medicine. Nadis are channels that connect points of intensity within the body.
This reflects the band’s feeling while playing of moving as one body.
Contrary to the creation of the group’s debut album ‘Mara’, both the
writing and recording sessions for ‘Nadi’ were completed in relatively short
periods of time.
