The Human Element - River (2024) [Hi-Res]

With RIVER, the band The Human Element, founded in 2016 and existing in this form as a working trio since 2020, releases a profound musical statement that authentically and passionately summarises the intensive joint work of recent years. The three virtuoso improvisers Gero Schipmann (baritone guitar), Johannes Ludwig (saxophone, FX) and Alex Parzhuber (drums) embark on an exciting search for the essence of their songs with blind understanding. An improvising post-rock band that is more oriented towards songwriters than the jazz idiom, they play their songs and pieces with the raw energy of a teenage garage rock band and the unconditional honesty of an aged country singer.
