● Pete Grogan – saxophones● Chris Williams – saxophones, effects● Liran Donan – bass, effects● Mark Holub – drums ● 'Led Bib are back as a lean and mean four-piece for their first new album in several years. It's a riotously melodic set, with saxophonists Chris Williams and Pete Grogan going toe-to-toe with maverick drummer/bandleader Mark Holub and wildly creative bassist Liran Donan. While they ‘continue to make the world safe for dangerous music', the sound of the group has matured and become deeper and more melodic, incorporating influences from other cultures and weaving them into their Motorik, prog and punky DNA.' – JazzWise (UK) ● Founded by drummer and leader Mark Holub while at Middlesex University in 2003, Led Bib has had the same line-up over its 22 years and 10 albums, but on Hotel Pupik the group faced its biggest challenge yet: the departure of keyboardist Toby McLaren, a vital part of the ensemble since its inception. ● 'It did force us to rethink what we're doing, in a really positive way,' Holub notes. 'Who am I as a musician, if I was never in this band? ‘How much are the choices that I make in Led Bib, sonically, to do with the other people in this band and our experiences together and how much of them are to do with what I would choose myself?' So in some ways doing this record was a way of imagining that we'd never played together before. Where would we go if we were to start again?' ● All of these questions have been satisfactorily answered here. The leisurely pace of the week-long recording session allowed Led Bib to explore a huge range of ideas and emotions, and while only a small part of what was recorded was used, Led Bib then shaped the recordings chosen into what Holub calls, with deliberate emphasis, 'a record'. 'We were thinking about creating something where the album itself is a story, and in this case, really considering the LP format of 20 minutes to each side.' ● Cover design by The Designers Republic | |
