Paal NilssenLove Mats Gustafsson - Splatter

Review by Virginia Kazlouskas (Gregory)

Splatter is an explosive collaboration between two of the most innovative and virtuosic improvisers of the contemporary jazz scene: Paal Nilssen-Love and Mats Gustafsson. Released in 2013, this album showcases their intense energy and fearless experimentation, pushing the limits of their respective instruments (drums and saxophone) to create a dense and chaotic sonic landscape.

The album consists of four long tracks, each exploring different textures and moods, from the frenzied free-jazz of "Splatter" to the hypnotic drones of "Burning Hamster". Throughout the album, Nilssen-Love and Gustafsson engage in a thrilling dialogue of sonic aggression and sensitivity, constantly challenging each other and the listener with unexpected twists and turns.

What makes Splatter such a remarkable album is not only the technical prowess and creativity of the two musicians, but also their ability to create a cohesive and compelling narrative out of seemingly disparate sounds and ideas. Whether it's the thunderous rhythms and scorching sax lines of "Dystopian Disco Force" or the eerie atmospheres and whispered voices of "The Hymn", Nilssen-Love and Gustafsson manage to convey a sense of urgency and purpose that transcends genre and convention.
