Two Ways

London-born brothers Ben and Tom Page return from their travels with Neneh Cherry with a crisp new black-and-white split colour vinyl 12", the James Holden-produced two track celebration of synth and drum 'Two Ways'. Accomplished jazz drummer Tom also plays in Holden's own live band so Holden's Border Community label provides a fitting home for his live take recordings of the RocketNumberNine brothers' in-the-moment improvisations, capturing them at the peak of their performative powers. 'Two Ways' sees afro-tinged percussive melodics and a beefy bass component build to a wild and joyful free jazz crescendo. The insistent rave stabs of flipside 'Balance Of Imbalance' meanwhile power ahead noisily over judiciously placed atonal metallic clangs and the frenetic rattle of Tom's vintage drum kit.
