Innercity Ensemble – (Milieu L’Acéphale présente) take us for a psychedelic sun-drenched ride

A slow, mellow start commences a journey into a magical place, a sonic equivalent of a blissed out day, where things are familliar, and mellifluous but still mind-altering and trippy. Innercity Ensemble is a project of several Polish musicians – including our friend Radek Dziubek from the Grobbing Thristle project – and their latest EP released by Milieu L’Acéphale as a free download, is a result of a three-day improvisational session at the Mozg club in Bydgoszcz in August 2011 and serves as a taster of an LP that should be released in autumn 2012.

Drenched in a haze of psychedelia, it is a record that has neither beginning nor end (in the best possible sense), a hallucinogenic ride through past, present and future, touching upon free jazz territories and somehow reminding me at times of Sun Araw’s slow psychedelic jams (their dubby scapes are replaces here by jazzy tropes).
