It’s a good week for Centripetal Force heads! Brooklyn’s renegade free jazz unit, Emergency Group, has emerged with a new record that sizzles and quakes with fierce life.

Available for preorder today from CF ahead of its October 20th release, Venal Twin finds the band tearing through four sprawling improvisations with a ferocious energy and a near-telepathic level of tight musical communication. Dave Mandl (bass), Robert Boston (keys), Andreas Brade (drums) and Jonathan Byerley (guitar) play with lightning speed and intense aggression, sliding from white knuckle Dark Magus-era Miles-like rave ups to dreamy Canterbury Scene explorations.

Throughout every track, your ears will be treated to snarling Mike Ratledge-like fuzz organ, entrancing rapid fire drumming and enough wah-wah guitar to resuscitate even the most jaded of jazz-funk fans to screaming life. Check out the title track for a little taste of this for yourself:

If the wild jazz-fusion of Billy Cobham, the adrenaline-fueled jamming of Oneida and the modal prog thrashing of Horselords are your thang, then preorder Venal Twin on CD, digital or cassette today.
