During lockdown Mercury-nominated drummer and composer Mark Holub (Led Bib) explored new ways of combining composing and improvising, based around the musical personalities of specific players from Vienna where he lives. Drums, cello, violin, bass clarinet and saxophone play lines with a wonky energy akin to Led Bib but with a new exploratory openness in the improvising. Joining Anthropods on their UK tour is another 5-piece improvising powerhouse led by baritone saxophonist Cath Roberts. Sloth Racket shares a punky, groove-based approach to free improvisation using notation to create high-energy music with contrast, detail and texture.
