Primitive, by Kyle Jessen

Primitive

by Kyle Jessen

supported by

Joe Kyle is one of the hardest working musicians I have ever met. He labors intensively, always striving to improve his technique.

A dynamic collection, this is an exclamation point on years of development.

At times the pieces are aggressive. The opening of Death Trap had conjurings of a battle cry. Other moments, like on Poltergeists, lull you into a trance. Overall, the recordings are airy and spacious, bringing you into the room and leaving you wanting more. Favorite track: Poltergeists.

about

“Primitive” is Jessen’s first full-length release. A raw solo saxophone recording born out of anger and isolation. At times, it screams violently. At others, it slowly pierces. At all times, it is a reaction to Jessen’s surroundings.
