“Triosk was formed in Sydney, Australia in 2001 with the objective to perform improvised-based music in which electronics played an active and equal role.”

If that’s Triosk’s manifesto then they are definitely fulfilling it to some engaging levels. Their latest album ‘The Headlight Serenade’ is released tomorrow and from what I’ve heard so far, is a collection of songs with the ethos of improvisational jazz. The songs are loose and open-ended and have the detailed percussive stylings that Four Tet say, likes to dip his toes into. Their songs are organic sounding with warm electronics.

The band are made up of Laurence Pike (Drums), Adrian Klumpes (Piano/Keyboards) and Ben Waples (Double/Electric Bass). “The title is derived from the transitory way that headlights pass across objects, creating split second moments and alternate spaces in time” says the groups Laurence Pike. “Each piece on the album is the soundtrack to a passing glimpse of a particular moment, memory or feeling, be it a past-life romance or the sensation of lying in a boat, looking at the stars. Light can bring many different things into focus, creating a microcosm of detail and perspective that you never knew existed.”

That’s what the drummer says, but I say just download the song below. The band are playing in Australia at the moment and will be touring in Europe soon. Check out their myspace for info.
