'Gamelan concertos-of-sorts for Jakarta-born jazz pianist Sri Hanuraga, who plays catchy, angular polyrhythms with the off-kilter strut of 1920s player pianos.'

JUST IN! 'Cooked' by Oren Ambarchi
Two side-long tracks mixing electric guitar, acoustic instruments, subtle percussion, and electronic embellishments with studio techniques, touching on drone, post-rock, jazz, and chamber music.

Oren Ambarchi coming in hot with one of the best - and most aptly titled - albums or the year 🪩

On his last record “Shebang” that was his ECM inspired incredible record. On his latest record “Cooked” his sound is coming from a chaotic fusion place that some may recall his back catalogue “Hubris”. Whatever place his music comes from it is always fresh.

The Quietus has published Will Ainsley’s review of Oren Ambarchi’s Cooked. The Drag City album comprises two extended pieces combining guitar, electronics, acoustic instruments and processed vocals, with contributions from…
“Even my solo records in the past, where it’s layers of guitar stuff, a lot of it is literally just throwing everything up in the air and seeing how it lands. Or randomly turning on two different things, hearing what they sound like together and going, ‘oh, wow, that’s really bizarre.’”
Black Truffle is thrilled to announce a 2nd volume of unheard concert performances from legendary Pakistani kyhal singer SALAMAT ALI KHAN recorded in 1974. The immaculate recording by Michael Hönig (of Agitation Free) is truly mindblowing. Preorder here:

'There’s an enjoyable Whack-A-Mole-ish quality to the arrangements on Cooked, where instruments surface then vanish: fitful double bass takes the place of twelve-string guitar, hushed ambient textures replace jazz skronk.'

AOTY? Quite possibly. orenambarchi.bandcamp.com/album/cooked
I had a dream about meeting Oren Ambarchi last night.
And today, as if by fate,
my review of Cooked on @spectrumculture.bsky.social drops:
Probably the best Ambarchi album I've heard. Smoky spiritual jazz. When Michiko Ogawa's shō hits 12 mins into the second track, we're cooking orenambarchi.bandcamp.com/album/cooked
Why does Oren Ambarchi's music just sound so damn good. I like the skittering electric guitar sounds, but the overall groove is what keeps me coming back https://orenambarchi.bandcamp.com/album/cooked
