The cello-driven, lushly harmonic brainchild of guitarist/composer Lily Maase, the Suite Unraveling has been described as “music that lives at the boundaries of jazz and progressive or art rock, being neither and both, with a message that is profoundly uplifting” (Budd Kopman, AllAboutJazz).
More rock band than jazz quintet, yet playing music more improvised than composed, Lily and the Suite have one foot planted in the world of rock and roll and the other firmly in the avant-garde, embracing influences as broad as Ornette Coleman, electronic music, and guitar heroes from the days of yore. The goal? To create something honest and new, steeped in the sensibility of simpler times, but reaching with reckless abandon into the sonic landscape that lays ahead.
Music for Robots, the Suite Unraveling’s sophomore release, will be available in digital and hand-printed compact disc format.
