Art The Band

"ART is the feeling of your truest lover stroking your neck. ART is the tightness in your throat when your dog died. ART is the 6 hours of pure joy you spent laying in the grass on your first mushroom trip. ART is Everything You've Ever Listened To."


If there was ever a more apt Bandcamp description of an artist; i have yet to see it. Art The Band are one of those artists that distinguish the boundary between music as a resource to be consumed and music as an art form that deserves to be admired.

With their first album "Boost Unavailable" Art The Band exploded onto the worldwide jazz scene with stunning technical precision and a tendency to groove so hard it gives me neck pains.
From start to finish Art's debut treats us to a diverse palette of synchronous musicality that
pushes the boundaries of modern jazz in a way previously unexplored.

And with this year's 'Snacks', Art further explore that ideology by constructing a diverse and intricate showcase of modern jazz filled with exotic grooves and machine tightness while also entwining a genuine emotional atmosphere throughout it's entirety. Each song on Snacks has a distinctive hue that speaks to Art's diverse musical ability and leaves you wanting more after every listen.
