Run Logan Run’s third full length album For A Brief Moment We CouldSmell The Flowers finds the acclaimed Bristolian duo pushing their musicforwards in a dramatic new direction in the company of producer RiaanVosloo (Nostalgia 77). Recorded in lockdown after months of intensejamming, the album bolsters the dynamic improvised sound of the groupwith expansive synth soundscapes that add depth, warmth and emotionalheft to the duo’s uniquely committed style of spiritualised jazz. ‘Making music is almost the only thing that makes sense to us’ saysAndrew Neil Hayes, Run Logan Run’s saxophone powerhouse. ‘It's atranscendent experience, where time stands still and it feels like our placein the universe is just right.’ It’s a succinct summary of the deeply heldcommitment found at the root of Run Logan Run’s uncompromising music.Based in the alchemical fusion of Hayes’ extended, pedal-treatedsaxophone improvisations and Matt Brown’s surging, polyrhythmic alt-breakbeats, the Bristol group have picked up the baton passed by the new generation of jazz-continuum UK players, and journeyed with it toward newvistas of inner and outer space. Brown, formerly of Bristol unit Dakhla Brass, replaces Dan Johnson, whofeatured on Run Logan Run’s acclaimed 2018 debut The Delicate Balanceof Terror. Over months of improvised sessions during the lockdown, Brownand Hayes established the near telepathic synergy achieved whenmusicians know just how to lock into each other. The songs on For A BriefMoment… emerged from these focussed practice sessions: ‘We're luckyenough to have our own rehearsal studio in a community space calledKuumba, in St Pauls, Bristol,’ explains Hayes. ‘We wrote the whole album in the space of three months. The first two months were spent improvisingfor hours at a time. Occasionally one of us would bring something alongthat we'd written in our own time as a starting point, but predominantlywe'd start from scratch together until we stumbled on a riff or an idea we liked. Then we'd keep pushing and pulling it around until it developed intoa track. In this way, the musical conversation that takes place between aduo is very intimate.’
