Will Wondrous exploration of sonic spaces, effortlessly drifting in and out of cohesion. Such a natural creative expression, feels as if it emerged all at once in one extended, enlightened session.

about

San Franciscan Peter Berend’s mystery unit KWJAZ flashed forth this self-titled slab of “post-plastic sublime decomposed luxury grooves” on cassette via his own Brunch Groupe imprint early in 2011 and the 120 listeners lucky enough to grip a copy know who they are. It only took half a side before we green-lit this gem for vinyl treatment and are delighted to present it thusly. Comprised of two side-long suites, “Once In Babylon” and the oddly monikered “Frighteous Wane,” KWJAZ nimbly ebbs and flows the proceedings through smoky clouds of opaque crystal keys and hiss-hazed horns, jazzy dub-funk vignettes, syrupy synths, and soft-focus soft-rock abstractions. A real riddle of an LP that ripples and ripens with each listen.
