Open to Closeness
The album si released by Bivak Records and distributed by Animal Music and Supraphon.
Point of Few is a new Czech instrumental quartet organically combining electronics with contemporary jazz. Their music has an exceptionally fresh and original sound, it is colourful, adventurous and as changeable as the current times. Formed in 2019, the band has used the ensuing period heavily influenced by pandemics to experiment and find their own path. In 2020, they produced the Live Sessions EP, only to come up with material for their full-length, surprisingly mature and polished debut, Open to Closeness, a year later. For it, she invited a guest of the highest calibre, New York keyboardist, composer, producer and sonic wizard Jason Lindner, who can be heard on David Bowie's iconic last album Blackstar, or in the bands of Donna McCaslin, Mark Guiliana and his own Now vs. Now ad. The band draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of contemporary jazz and popular music, naturally blending these worlds into one. Despite the fact that the songs often have novel forms or use odd meters, they still come across as songs with separate worlds, telling stories.
