UNCHAINED (US/FR)

Rooted in the polymorphous experimentalism of the 2000s East Coast underground, Unchained moves between intimate, home-recorded jazz, shimmering pastoral jangle, grainy synthetic rhythms, and humid ambient blur. In his two most recent LPs—Frontalier (2025, Stern Records) and Gabbeh (2024, A Colourful Storm)—Unchained strives to describe a new path for outsider jazz instrumentalism that remains committed to harmonic and rhythmic form while placing greater emphasis on sonic texture through experimental recording and mixing techniques.
