Reuben Lewis - Potentially Interesting Jazz Music (2025) [Hi-Res]

"Potentially Interesting Jazz Music" is the third studio album by the Australian experimental collective I Hold the Lion’s Paw. The group, which has evolved from a free-form ensemble with a rotating lineup to a stable quartet, presents a work that marks a new stage in their creativity. The album's sound is centered around electronics, synthesizers, and vocals, creating a dense and unpredictable sonic palette. Drawing inspiration from icons like Miles Davis and Sun Ra, the musicians blend jazz improvisation with elements of psychedelia, drum 'n' bass, and nu-soul. Notably, the compositions, which appear to be concise songs, were actually crafted from a multi-hour improvisation session and then meticulously assembled and processed in the studio. The album showcases a collective that is not afraid to experiment and constantly redefines genre boundaries, staying true to its exploratory spirit.
