RELEASE DATE

Brussels-based power trio
Don Kapot
present their rousing new album
I Love Tempo
via W.E.R.F. Records. A lifeboat of free jazz, Afrobeat and krautpunk sailed by
Giotis Damianidis
(bass),
Viktor Perdieus
(baritone saxophone) and
Jakob Warmenbol
(drums), the album follows the release of their critically acclaimed 2022 album
Un Peu Live
recorded with Dutch multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer
Fulco Ottervanger
, and described by Bandcamp Daily as a "very fun mix of modern jazz and krautrock." Don Kapot strike hard with their fourth album, mixed and co-produced by
Greg Saunier
(
Deerhoof
). Using a wide range of instruments, they evolve their sound into a solid complex rhythmic wave, shaken by demented samples and punk attitude. From the vibrant, pounding rhythms of opening track "Me Pig" to the off-kilter, whimsical beats of "Macarona" and "Terryble," Don Kapot integrate new instruments and sounds into their repertoire, including keyboards and sampling. The groove remains a central element to the sound as the trio deliver a palpable blend of high tension and joyous energy where genres are demolished. Elsewhere, the funk-heavy "Bernadette" allows the magical, freestyle sax work of Perdieus to take center stage while "Don Be No" is an urgent, flippant blast of vigor and zest before the album title track "I Love Tempo" is an exhilarating and hypnotic journey that combines the freedom and verve of free jazz with the trance-like zeal of artists such as
Tony Allen
,
Fela Kuti
, and
Kologbo
.
