Tulpas - Atisbo (2024) [Hi-Res]

This debut from a Mexico City free jazz quartet sheds light on that region’s often-overlooked avant-garde music scene. Here, dueling saxophones provide discordant and angular melodies over solid irregular rhythmic patterns from double bass and drums. Sonically, Tulpas finds a balance between Euro-improv and American jazz, with structures that sound like they are about to fall apart but somehow manage to be coherent. Recorded live in 2021, Atisbo documents a fresh perspective on the scene’s veterans and new voices alike. The album will be released on September 13 by Astral Spirits.
