One of my records of last year was released in November in a ridiculously small pressing, but hopefully it will appear again in the coming months. Under the name Ssabae, lueke has gathered a group of musician friends around him who, with »Azurescens«, have carved out a monolith of an album for the Parisian scene that sneers at genres and is utterly untouchable, because it has nothing to prove to itself. Every vocal passage, every saxophone line, every tempo shift feels completely improvised and at the same time only makes sense at that very moment. Let’s hope that Azurescens doesn’t remain in the pressing plants for months buried the next strictly limited RSD picture disc.
