Yuvi Havkin aka Rejoicer returns with an exceptional collaborative album, California Space Craft. On this aptly titled record, he joins forces with seasoned LA bass polymath Sam Wilkes -- known for his inspired studio work with Sam Gendel and his dynamic live performances alongside Louis Cole and KNOWER -- and drummer Tamir Barzilay, completing the LA-connected trifecta alongside a select handful of key featured guests. The idea for California Space Craft was born out of a series of inspired live sessions in Los Angeles between 2019 and 2022, notably at Listen to Music Outside in the Daylight Under a Tree, where the trio's natural chemistry first began to bloom. The resulting recordings encompass a wide variety of inspired sound stylings, as one would expect from any of these accomplished artists on their own; however, the sum is truly greater than the parts here, with the fluidity of their freeform improvisations over a dedicated three-day recording session feeling remarkably focused as a cohesive whole. Opening track "Traveling Light" sets the LP's tone with equal parts Sly & Robbie-style, space echo -- drenched rhythms and the cozy kosmische, guitar-led feel of early-2000s genre-fluid explorers like Tortoise. The soaring trumpet of Avishai Cohen adorns the Afrobeat-indebted "Lion Water," with Barzilay laying down a proper Allen-esque groove, while "Further (with you)," featuring Nitai Hershkovits on keys, offers a defining look at the titular concept of the album -- with pure Cali feels coalescing effortlessly into sci fi narrative modes and a proper dose of Rejoicer futurism. California Space Craft embodies the power of open, collective intention and musical kinship, offering memorable, uplifting moments and an aural glimpse of hope, warmth, and loving melodious calm in an otherwise quite chaotic time for humanity.
