Trifecta - Fragments + The New Normal - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Kscope presents Trifecta - 'Fragments + The New Normal', a special 2CD collection bringing together the band's first two albums the acclaimed 2021 debut 'Fragments' & it's highly anticipated follow-up 'The New Normal'. Featuring three of the contemporary music scene's most revered instrumentalists - Nick Beggs, Adam Holzman & Craig Blundell - this set is an essential document of a group whose fearless fusion of progressive rock, jazz, funk & eccentric English humour has earned them a cult following. Formed during downtime while touring together in Steven Wilson's band, Trifecta began as spontaneous post-soundcheck jams that quickly evolved into fully formed compositions. Their debut album 'Fragments' captured the spark of those sessions, leaning into bold jazz-rock fusion & showcasing the trio's virtuosic interplay. Largely instrumental, the album also features the wonderfully mischievous single InchPavlov's Dog Killed Schrödinger's Cat,Inch written, in Beggs' words, Inchfrom the perspective of a layman trying to understand quantum mechanics... & failing.Inch Recorded individually in their home studios, 'Fragments' was mixed by Holzman in New York & mastered by Andy VanDette (Rush, David Bowie, Porcupine Tree, Beastie Boys). With 'The New Normal', Trifecta push their musical universe even further into surreal, exploratory & playfully genre-warping territory. Combining progressive rock, jazz fusion & a particularly British sense of the absurd, the album invites listeners into a world where rhythm bends, sound mutates & vegetables may possess supernatural traits - see the kaleidoscopic InchStroboscopic Fennel.Inch Recorded between 2019-2023 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedford & New York, the album features guest appearances from Alex Lifeson (Rush / Envy of None) on InchOnce Around The Sun With YouInch & Theo Travis (Steven Wilson) on the insectoid groove of InchDaddy Long Le
