Johnny Hunter - Now It Can Be Told [CD]

'Now It Can Be Told' from Johnny Hunter, the in-demand Manchester-based composer, drummer and improviser, sees a return to his post-rock roots. Having played throughout the early 2000s with the band Leda Atomica (influences including Mogwai, Tortoise and Godspeed You! Black Emperor) before moving into jazz and free improvisation, the influence of post-rock has never been far from his compositional voice, in particular the use of drone-based soundscapes, angular textures and bass riffs, but 'Now It Can Be Told' is explicitly returning to his early influences.

Hunter employs the talents of Chris Sharkey (Trio VD, Roller Trio) on guitar and in the role of producer, Dee Byrne (Outlines, MoonMot) on alto sax and Mick Bardon (Shatner's Bassoon) on bass guitar. All members also utilise effects, including Hunter, who has developed a hybrid acoustic drum kit-electonics setup.This piece, in a previous incarnation, has been performed at the Liverpool International Jazz Festival and at London's Kings Place, with John Fordham calling it "an imaginative set of 21st-century bebop mixed with electronic echoes" (The Guardian, June 2016).
