BROKEN GLASS

Description

Their first album, Mad Weather Good Friends, was born from endless jams, instrumental tracks that endure, crumble, and rebuild through solos. For Broken Glass, Laura Wamba's face on the cover is no accident. This is primarily an album of songs. This songwriting, different from what the musicians are used to, was tackled by everyone. Addiction, emotional dependence, solitude, love, and escapism are addressed in broad enough terms for everyone to relate to. The WPTC hallmark is still there: the richness in the arrangements and influences remains. Snarky Puppy and their Family Dinner(s) as an unshakeable guiding figure, Supertramp and Pink Floyd, the ambient sounds of Aphex Twin, or the soul of Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak in Silk Sonic. Genuine intros and outros. A subdued atmosphere is essential, even if a few rays of sunshine sometimes pierce through the synthesizer layers. Go see them live: they will remind you that they are first and foremost jazz musicians and that, to avoid losing their membership card, nothing will be played the same way twice.
