Pfeuti
Pigeon Post
> band site
> BUY
|
|
Post jazz/post rock unit Pfeuti combine influences that range from free jazz to dub, noise, electronica, exotica and movie soundtracks. Angular, evocative themes are punctuated with jarring sax and guitar improvisations over a driving rhythm section to create Pfeuti's unmistakable sound that is both immediate and constantly surprising.

"For fans of post jazz along the lines of Tortoise, Pfeuti offer an intelligent, domestic alternative." - Metropolis

Mancini and Morricone mix martinis whilst Jobim and Joe Meek lurk in the Shadows of Blue Velvet drapes, spying Nino Rota score some blow from Burt Bacharach in the John (Barry). The house band at a Twin Peaks Black Lodge cocktail party, and all without a hint of irony from your friends Andy Charneco and Deanna Pineda of Cigarbox Planetarium.
