Sleepthief is New York-based German saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock's improv trio,
with pianist Liam Noble and American drummer Tom Rainey. Like the group's
Intakt debut in 2008, this set sounds just as inclined to a shoot-and-duck
improvising approach, in which patient use of space and a willingness to drive
for extended passages in low gear mix with bursts of dense and busier
activity. And, now, Laubrock sounds a lot more assured. The titles of the
pieces are taken from 19th-century Scottish writer Charles Mackay's study of
cults and crazes – perhaps a comment on improv's anti-populist stance. The
music is a wider and wilder mix than before. Laubrock's yelping lines over
Rainey's battering percussion, her contrasting murmurings over damped piano
strings and arrhythmic tappings, windy multiphonic sounds amid cowbell chimes
and ghostly chords reveal an increasingly distinctive Sleepthief
soundscape. Tulipmania, a piece of virtuosic free-jazz for Laubrock's bright
and buzzy phrasing against Noble's flinty runs, is a highlight, as is the
dreamy tone poem of the finale.
