I could also say it’s impossible to ignore the influence of Medeski, Martin and Wood, Jeff Beck, The Headhunters, Jimi Hendrix, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, Wayne Krantz, possibly Pink Floyd and maybe even Freddie King. Musically it would be impossible to ignore the influence of Scofield but that would be too easy. Ask yourself honestly who else there is in the UK with this dedication to art of sound? This valuable knowledge is deployed to maximum effect on this exceptional release. He knows exactly which vintage classic guitar, amp or sought after effects unit will be perfect for each job. Svarc himself is a self confessed ‘gear nut’.
This cool yet exciting trio opt to embrace and experiment with a plethora of sounds, textures and grooves in a tough yet pleasingly unhurried way. However, this little piece of art ‘20/21’ by Svarc, Hanley and Longhawn is most definitely not a frantic bid for stardom but is instead a glimpse of the intriguing and musically rich planet that’s inhabited by Leeds based guitarslinger Nik Svarc, funky as hell drummer Steve Hanley and organ/keyboard groovemeister extraordinaire Martin Longhawn.
