Spinifex Sings combines free improv, polyrhythmic punk-rock and rigorously composed structures with contemporary and ancient Tamil, Kashmiri and Icelandic poetry. ?Spinifex Sings was recorded in Lisbon in July 2022, mixed and mastered by Philipp Moser, and it comes with beautiful artwork designed by Geraldine MacDonald, and a booklet containing the lyrics.? Amsterdam-based Spinifex, named after a tough Australian species of grass, may at first sound like a combination of free jazz, punkrock and other typically Western contemporary music. However, beneath the surface the listener will discover ancient cyclical rhythms from Turkish and Indian musical cultures.?Dave Foxall (Jazz Journal, UK) wrote: "ambitious yet unpretentious, tight, catchy, but also fearlessly exploratory and experimental.”
