JetBlackItalic Promo Blurb
On its newest recording, "JetBlackItalic," the massive instrumental quartet P'elvis advances the hyper sax-skronk and mile-wide grooves of its debut release and ventures into more varied and expansive territory. The two-minute temper tantrums of sax and guitar feedback are still there, to be sure, but P'elvis has also embraced an orchestral slow-burn that shows up in a number of lengthy tracks. Make no mistake, this is not easy music, but it's not all confusion, mood, and pretense either. P'elvis' back bone is a bass-drums-guitar rhythm section steeped in the art-noise of the late 80s and the grinding math-rock of the early 90s. Throw bop/avant-garde saxophone explorations into the mix and the group careens from frenetic, highly-arranged rockist stabs to edgy, contemplative excursions into post-rock.
