Terrine - Jazz Band Theory (2026)

Here we are with a new LP by Terrine. Jazz Band Theory is Terrine’s fourth album for Bruit Direct Disques. Neither one nor the other are what they were when the first came out. Jazz Band Theory is a river and a drop in a river. You are another river, or another drop in the same river. Or you are Jazz Band Theory, for a few minutes. 31 minutes and 10 seconds pass. Or you are Bruit Direct Disques, the river is full of water. 31 minutes and 10 seconds of inattention in a river of drops. Plic, Plic and of course Ploc. Terrine.

RIYL: Graeme Revell’s “The insect musicians”, Test Department and the enemy within “Strike”, Tori Kudo “At Goodman 1984-1986”, David Grubbs dances down the El Train line on Chic-A-Go-Go, Terrine.

Listen to track 8 “Back To Salouel” if you only have 2 minutes 52 seconds within that river of yours.

Terrine/sound is a salutary balancing act-convincing to destabilise prevalent control systems ;- a proto -resistance assembly/and (meta ) language. Organic /electronique in the guise of “techno£”? Who for !?=the tech adventurous surely as much as for those declaring a tech-no-phobia /immunity/,the tech-sceptics ((for those who desire such antiquities ?as mood ,feelings ,words!!?,worlds !!,provocations !!!, As the agnostics will vouch techno often wont or cant supply these within the functions of the track . Here is terrine occulting ,geography, journey, mapping ,infiltration ,her strategy herein an exposure /introduction/seduction to the play and mischief in her machinery.Essential to playing THE MACHINE ! at its own game !
