From France, and via the good offices of áMARXE, one of my favourite labels, Fulguromatic really are unlike anything else you have heard. Seriously challenging, and ultimately seriously rewarding.

The first of two winners of “Bass Guitar" 2025”, An Odd Bird’s Bill. My review stated; “The drum roll combines with a gorgeous bass melody and the flute to create alongside voices a psych-infested natural wonder, a thoroughly modern jazz interpretation of the classic Canterbury sound at the fore, melodies and insistent rhythm creating a rich soundscape”.
