Sunking - Is a project featuring members of High Pulp

Another interesting band from Seattle!!!

Featuring two members of the Seattle based collective High Pulp, sunking are Indie Jazz alchemists who incorporate Indie Rock, Electronic and Hip-Hop elements into a Jazz framework. For fans of BadBadNotGood and Flying Lotus. A duo comprised of Granfelt and keyboardist Antoine Martel, Sunking new album is released today 18th of November and is entitled ‘Smug’, this is their second album but their first with Anti-Records. The groundwork for the album is drawn from a series of freewheeling, lo-fi drum sessions while the horn and keyboard fuelled arrangements on top are part of a vision for the band’s sound that has been evolving ever since the release of their self-titled debut in 2019.

“There are elements of Jazz, Indie Rock, Hip-Hop and Electronic music, but ultimately Sunking is all about exploring the nooks and crannies between those genres, about throwing out all of the rules and expectations in search of something completely fresh and original,” - Bobby Granfelt (Sunking)

The band have also made the album tracks ‘Bad Habits’ and ‘Glitch / Spy’ available as a single today to coincide with the album announcement. This follows the September release of ‘My mind is an Oven’ and ‘Uncle Kane’. Commitment is the name of the game for Granfelt and Martel, who first bonded over a shared love of Progressive Jazz, Punk, Shoegaze and underground Electronic music while still in high school. Over the years, the powerhouse drummer and keyboard wizard would collaborate in a variety of configurations... most notably as members of the sprawling Seattle collective High Pulp a band who have gained a cult Worldwide following.
