Sounds Like
High Energy Gyspy Jamgrass in a subway station at midnight. Spilled Wine. Crumpled jazz charts. Laughter.
The Absynth Quintet melds the familiar and the avant-gard with a unique and provocative palette of tone and texture. This is streetcorner swing with a sense of humor, bluegrass with footstomping danceability, intertwined with playful forays into the depths of sophisticated musical experimentation. The Eugene Weekly places the sound "somewhere along the spectrum of acoustic-improvisational-gypsy-jazz...plucky and tight à la David Grisman" with "a dash of Eastern European exoticism that puts you in a smoky, understated hash bar kind of mood". Recent performances had the band sharing the stage with such acts as Vince Herman, Thamusement, Vagabond Opera, David Grisman Quintet, Peter Rowan and Hot Buttered Rum. The Absynth Quintet is now celebrating the release of a milestone new album, Indigo Shoes. The CD is out now on Sidenote records and available at music stores and itunes. The Northcoast Journal had this to say of the new record: "Some bands record amazing studio albums, but can’t recreate the brilliance live. Others are incredible live, but their studio work just doesn’t measure up. The Absynth Quintet pulls off both live performances and studio recordings quite well. Their just released album Indigo Shoes flawlessly mixes different styles of jazz and bluegrass together, without any awkward transitions and with no bad tracks." - Monica Topping
