The west country-based foursome Get the Blessing's 2014 CD Lope and Antilope was arguably the highlight of their recording output to date with its expansion of the band's musical palette to embrace a little electronics and pedal effects. They take a larger, more assertive step in the same direction on Astronautilus, bringing a dirtier, psychedelic-ish edge to the band's now hallmark combo of killer horn melodies and hypnotic post-rock fuelled grooves courtesy of the Portishead rhythm section of Jim Barr and Clive Deamer. At times they can resemble a Krautrock band with a horn section blowing Ethio jazz and Afrobeat riffs, at others, a minimalist take on Miles’ ambient electric jazz period. Dedicated to the recently departed Ornette Coleman, saxophonist Jake McMurchie and trumpeter Pete Judge's harmonically freewheeling improvisations owe something to the free jazz guru's original quartet with Don Cherry.
