Seeing Is Forgetting [LP] Vinyl Record

Long-running collaborators Elori Saxl & Henry Solomon present their new duo. Both are key players in an emerging US underground of experimental composers who are redefining the modern vanguard. While Solomon is rooted in LA's fertile jazz underground, Saxl is a proponent of NYC, taking up the torch of minimalism and fusing it with an electronic sensibility informed by soundsystem culture and modern pop production. Their debut album as a duo, Seeing Is Forgetting, is a work of stunning fluidity and intimate interplay. Across it's nine tracks, Solomon's baritone sax and bass clarinet weave tendrils around Saxl's heartwrenching Juno 106 harmonies. While Solomon has been an active contributor to Saxl's work over the last half-decade, playing in her quartet live and accompanying her on the Texada soundtrack and Drifts and Surfaces EP, Seeing Is Forgetting marks their first collaboration as equal partners. Recorded over just a few nights in Los Angeles, the album is a testament to their near-telepathic intuition. Each moment breathes with unhurried elegance and an emotional depth that stops you in your tracks. Two pop obsessives (Solomon frequently plays with Miley Cyrus, Haim, Paramore, Vampire Weekend, and more), they bring a refracted interpretation of that shared love to Seeing, bridging the worlds of experimental improv and top 40 with surprising clarity.
