Umbrella Weather

In Umbrella Weather, Led Bib's latest offering, the band once again proves that they are not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of contemporary jazz. The album is a whirlwind of eclectic influences, from free jazz to punk rock, with a healthy dose of humour and irreverence thrown in for good measure. Opening track "Goodbye", sets the tone for the album with its frenetic energy and experimental soundscapes. The band's tight-knit ensemble playing is on full display here, with each member shining in their own unique way. The saxophone work on tracks like "Siren"Scream" and "Washed Up" is particularly impressive, adding a layer of unpredictability and excitement to the proceedings. Led Bib's willingness to blur the lines between genres is evident throughout the album, with tracks like "Spaceship" and "Ghost Light" seamlessly blending elements of electronic music and traditional jazz. The result is a sound that is at once familiar and fresh, challenging listeners to rethink their preconceived notions of what jazz can be. While Umbrella Weather may not be everyone's cup of tea, for those willing to take the plunge into Led Bib's eclectic world, the rewards are plentiful. This is a band that knows how to have fun with their music, and it shines through in every note. So grab your umbrella and prepare for a wild ride with Led Bib – you won't be disappointed.
