Any Percent by C.A.R.
After their 2020 garage-psy-jam-jazz album „Befunde ab 1999“, Cologne-based kraut-jazz outfit C.A.R. entered a proper studio again (the incredible „Candy Bomber“ Studio in Berlin) and asked legendary Krautrock and Neue Deutsche Welle producer René Tinner (known for his work with Joachim Witt and Trio among countless others) to join them to create their new full lenght „Any Percent“. Mixed with elaborate care by Ingo Krauss, the result is a more structured and brilliant sounding piece of music, more akin to their 2018 album „Look Behind You“. But beware, what might seem simplistic at first sight, unveils more and more layers of detail with each listen. Between the motorik-induced but playful drum beats and the delay-bathed synth and sax sounds, there is a whole sonic universe to be discovered.
