Infolding

Here’s the cover of Spin Marvel’s latest, so far unreleased, album Infolding, their first for Giacomo Bruzzo and Eraldo Bernocchi’s London-based prog-jazz label RareNoise Records.

Spin Marvel are Loose Tubes drummer Martin France’s band with a ‘guesting’ Nils Petter Molvaer joining France’s co-founding members electronicist Terje Evensen and his Puul bandmate bassist Tim Harries plus relative newcomer drummer/mixer Emre Ramazanoglu coming on board.

Spin Marvel made their eponymous debut as a four piece – France, Evensen, Harries and guitarist John Parricelli – for Babel, an album released quietly in 2006. But it would take four years and a new label, this time Edition Records, for a second album Spin Marvel 2, better known by its subtitle ‘The Reluctantly Politicised Mr James’, to appear and the momentum to gradually build, partly through the addition of influential futurejazz trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær coming on board and partly via the additional frisson at selected live shows involving guest spots for Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones. Infolding is looking like a late-February release.
