about
Unspooling releases their long-overdue first album on April 17th 2020, more than 11 years after meeting in Oberlin, Ohio. The trio has experienced long honeymoon phases of playing together every day, as well as years of long-distance separation. Unspooling, their self-titled album recorded in Lubrza, Poland, explores both the familiarity and the space between its members. Some pieces were composed separately, some, like the title track "Unspooling", were composed or improvised together in the same room, and others, like "Bad Morning", were layered collaborations with different sections by different authors. The album draws on elements of jazz, folk, rock, electronic, and classical music, as the trio explores their musical personalities both within and independent from the group. The name "unspooling" serves as a reminder to let go of ego and preconceived assumptions, and to allow the music to unfold on its own.
