Thanks to i-D for including Gist Is in their Phantom Thread moodboard. 

This song is long, but give it a chance. JUST LIKE WE GAVE PIZZA A CHANCE.

ADULT JAZZ - Springful This quartett reminds me a bit of Alt-J or the early Foals when they were still singing "Cassius away". On the 4th of August they released their album "Gist Is" and currently they are touring the UK and Europe. The well-thought-out entry of their instruments combined with the smooth voice of the lead singer and soft harmonies make me wanna lay back and dream of the summer.

Beirut meets Dirty Projectors meets Tune-Yards meets STOMP does jazz wouldn't even come close to describing this album. It's a mismatch of sounds, with as many integral parts, pieces, melodies and layers as one can compact into a series of breathtaking tracks and still label it as cohesive. Take 'Donne Tongue,' for example, which juxtaposes sharp electric guitars with smooth, elongated vocals. Or 'Springful,' which starts out slow and sleepy, but beautifully begins to swirl upbeat, introducing heavier percussion and at 3:09 bursts a clattering almost like metallic birds chirping. 'Spook' took its time and for that, I'm thankful. It has vibes reminiscent of Bloc Party's 'Blue Light,' kind of that dreamy, perfect-for-road-trips-at-dusk song. All in all, Gist Is is a smorgasbord of sounds that fit delicately into an album that demands your every bit of attention and urges you to slow down and listen.
