ISHMAEL Ensemble’s debut album ‘A State Of Flow’ is out next week and the band will be coming to The Granary, (Instore at Raves from the Grave, Frome) on Saturday 1st June.
The Bristol-based band says, “To be honest, we’ve been totally blown away by the response from both you our fans and the press and radio Djs that have been supporting the record.
“There’s been a few ‘pinch yourself’ moments of late, none of which would’ve been possible without your continued support, so thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!
“We’ve been working in the studio solidly for the last 6 months to try and present this album in an exciting way for both us and the audience. We’re really proud of where the show is now and we’d love to share it with you at the gigs. Spread the word and bring a friend.
“You can also pick up a copy of the record here or for the super fans out there, we now have t-shirts here!”
Rave reviews have been made about the new album. “Jazz album of the month” Mojo Magazine. “The best homage to the Bristol channel since Portishead” Uncut. “Ishmael Ensemble’s live show is an inspiration” Clash Magazine. “Every bit as energetic, adventurous & innovative as it is beautiful” Future Music. “Absolutely gorgeous sound” Tom Ravenscroft.
