Venal Twin continues Emergency Group’s frizzled free jazz explorations of their earlier releases, this time with the kind of tightened focus and maturity one expects from a band putting in the kind of hours Emergency Group does in rehearsal, on stage, and in the studio. Venal Twin is Emergency Group’s third release of 2023, following their debut Inspection of Cruelty on Island House Recordings and the self-released Crisis in Mono, a collection of their earliest work. Recorded shortly after the Inspection of Cruelty sessions, Venal Twin serves as a sort of antagonist, or perhaps more accurately, an evil twin, to its predecessor. The tone and mood is much darker, and the music more aggressive.
Spontaneity and improvisation are what drives Emergency Group through their modal jamming, fits of dissonance, and fortuitous accidents. There is no repertoire or songbook; the collective mood is what guides the band. The mood must have been a feisty one on the January evening of this recording session, for Venal Twin explodes straight out of the gate and does not let up. Comparisons of Emergency Group to electric era Miles Davis have already been frequent and with warrant, and such references are sure to continue, as this album recalls moments from Davis’ On the Corner, particularly with the aforementioned opening. These comparisons, however, are not indicative of any lack of originality, as Emergency Group offers plenty in the ways of texture, rhythm, and swing - hallmarks of the group’s sound that will carry them far into the future.
