Having seen Jaga Jazzist play through a lot of their material for next year’s new album, I can confirm that ‘One Armed Bandit’ is representative of the fiercely creative spirits on offer. The ten piece band throw everything but the kitchen sink at this – snares ricocheting all over the place, uncommonly sublime tuba lines and a funky riff that drives forward irrepressibly. It’s a marvellously organic piece of work, syncopated and jazzy yet without trying to sound too clever. Just make sure you hear the album of the same name when it drops in February, as this is hot stuff.
