The Thing With Five Eyes - Noirabesque (2018)

The Thing With Five Eyes is the follow up to the disassembled projects The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation. Founder and main composer Jason Kohnen brought 5EYES to life in 2014 after the latter where terminated to continue his adventures into Darkjazz territories, this time accompanied by Algerian / French singer Leila Bounous who added the oriental and mystical timbre to the project. 5EYES ventures into the realms of dark jazz, ambient, ethiopique, post rock, doom metal and oriental music.
The ‘Noirabesque’ album concept is inspired by a futuristic prehistory, a past and future presence of unknown goddesses and the mystic powers of the feminine, mother earth, fertility’s cycles.
