James Holden Tongues Hebden & Reid

Text by Nick Lawrence (HigherFrequency)

The improvisational kings Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid are at it again this time with a ten track album entitled "Tongues".

"Tounges" follows on from volume 1, 2 & 3 of "Exchange Sessions" series but promises to be a more refined and explosive collaboration after spending endless months together on the road, including a set last year at the inaugural Taico Club event in Japan.

While their music is always improvisational the dynamic duo draw influences from many places and have even been now to re-interpret Derrick May's 'Strings of Life' live on stage. Kieran & Steve are also set to get the re-interpretation treatment themselves with remixes from the album scheduled from James Holden and Audion.

"Tongues" will be released on Domino on March 19.
