Stateless - Tangents (2016)
Tangents isn’t big on keeping people up to date. I can’t really find much info about whether the band is even still ongoing. Regardless, they’ve released three excellent albums which I’ll continue listening to as long as they’re around.
This is their first full album. The Sydney band start out with a skittering drum pattern that could be off a modern British jazz record like GoGo Penguin, but then they quickly show you that they’re building to something different.
A wash of bass comes in, and you start to get an idea of the slowly developing structure of the track.
Each of the tracks is sonically distinct but all show a similar approach: layering instruments segue between prominence and background.
