THICK AS THIEVES

New Album 18th November 2022

“Adventurous and free-flowing, Thick As Thieves is a nimble and dynamic outpouring of ideas and musical empathy. Whilst the unshackled phrasing of the Paul Motian Trio, the low-end, post-punk riffs and rhythmic pedals of Zu’s Carboniferous, the hymnal searchings of Albert Ayler, the sonic textures of Ribot’s Scelsci Morning or the irreverent post-rock stylings of Jim Black’s AlasNoAxis might suggest an aesthetic starting point, Let Spin have created a powerful and expressive album full of vitality and purpose, one which is original and daring and one which places Let Spin as a unique voice on the contemporary European scene.”
