Nim Quartet (LP)

In celebration of a KU special double LP repress, Nim-Sadot reflects back on his 2018 debut album, Nim Quartet.

At the time of making the album, Sadot hadn't quite found a steady rotation of players to make up a band, which speaks to having three different drummers on the project. However, he did have a clear vision in his head for where the melodies should land, and thought they would be communicated best on trumpet. An instrument that is a constant on every composition, with the exception of one track on the record, "Good Cat, Bad Cat", written by keyboardist, Hamish Balfour. The trumpet doesn't feel missing, but it is maybe the biggest shift in feel on the project, and having the knowledge that it's only one of two tunes on 'Nim Quartet' not composed by Sadot, you can certainly hear a different voicing in the music.

The repressing of the record is also coming with an album art makeover. The new cover art is by KU goto, Marko Vuleta-Djukanov (Robohands, E. Lundquist).
