13 Octave Band - Atem

Review by Miran Maric

The 13 Octave Band's album Atem is a captivating and dynamic exploration of sound. The band's use of experimental instrumentation and improvisation creates a unique and engaging listening experience. The album's opening track, "Atem", sets the tone for the rest of the record with its hypnotic and pulsating rhythm. The use of sitar and other Eastern instruments on tracks like "Asiatic Blues" add an exotic flair to the album. "Mingus" is a standout track with its funky bassline and jazz-inspired melodies. The 13 Octave Band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, showcasing their ability to seamlessly blend genres and create a cohesive sound. Atem is a must-listen for fans of experimental and world music.
