The powerhouse Norwegian group release the latest video from their new album Pyramid

Jaga Jazzist unveil their new single ‘Tomita' (an edit of the full album version) and an accompanying video directed and animated by Jengo (@ojeng). True to form, the track itself pays homage to Japanese composer and pioneering synth player Isao Tomita, evolving and unravelling across multiple movements embodying the Norwegian octet’s rich, expansive sonic signature. Jengo’s animations are the perfect foil, documenting the epic journey of a mysterious cloaked figure.

Reviewed in the July issue of Jazzwise, Stuart Nicholson said of the album: "There may be just four tracks on the album, but they are well-conceived and constructed, with well-arranged ensemble textures that balance acoustic and electronic sounds in varying densities that can sometimes make the ensemble sound four times its size."
