earworm by YUCHTET
YUCHTET is the 8-piece jazz band of Brooklyn-based composer & drummer Leo Yucht. "earworm" is YUCHTET's independently-produced, full-length debut.
Blending influences from classic big band jazz to modern trap, YUCHTET invites listeners on imaginative journeys across time and genre--evoking a jazzy, cool ride around New York City in "CITI BIKE ANTHEM" or a frantic cannon battle at sea in "MAKE IT". Intentionally eschewing guitar or piano or any other chorded instrument, YUCHTET's woodwind and brass voices form one mega instrument underpinned by bass and, of course, Yucht's own drumming. There's no pretension here, though: while the group at times hints at the raw sorrow and turmoil of simply existing (as in "SONG OF HOPE"), the overall vibe is pure head-bobbing fun--solo-filled, cool, and self-explanatory.
