What this band provides is from a whole new level, as you can hear on the LP ‘Noirabesque’ that released half a year ago. On this record classic Arabic instruments are combined with cutting edge electronics, with this they dive into a genre they put on the map: Noir Jazz. And trust me, it’s noir.
THE THING WITH FIVE EYES
Thursday 11 October 2018 2018
The Thing With Five Eyes is the new future dark jazz project of Jason Köhnen (aka Bong-Ra). This band continues where other projects like ‘The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble’ and ‘The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation’ ended. With an international occupation Jason sets foot in the deeper parts in the land of the darkened territories of soul.
“ ''De poorten van de hel, een vertelling uit de Arabische duizend-en-één-nacht, tochten door duistere piramides en achtervolgingen in verloren gewaande oerwouden, het zijn slechts enkele van de beelden die ontstaan bij het luisteren.'' “
