The Geordie Approach are no ordinary improvising trio. Their previous two albums – 2007’s Why Eye and Inatween from 2012 – both showcased short extracts of longer improvisations, edited to highlight the group’s compositional approach to spontaneous music making. This overdue follow-up, however, contains two much longer pieces that more closely resemble their live shows, revealing an impressive feel for long-form story telling. There’s a cavernous ambience and sense of scale to both these pieces, as though broadcast from inside some enormous hangar: on ‘North,’ a thick, foggy rumble is pierced by a plaintive, distant call, like a train on a rainy night, while a tactile percussive clatter sets the foreground. Later, a driving throb emerges, powered by a simple snare figure and seeded with elusive electronic sounds. Half the fun here, in fact, lies in trying to figure out which instruments are making which sounds, as they deal in lumbering squelches and queasy timbres. The second piece, ‘South’ moves even further away from improv clichés, introducing an irresistible 808 acid wibble more likely to encourage the shaking of butts than the stroking of chins.
