The second release from hot- off-the-ranks Australian power trio Springtime is some wild flowering: a demented torrent of sound within which Gareth Liddiard, one-time frontman of cult art-rockers The Drones, reworks his own ‘The Radicalisation of D’, a tune loosely based on the life an Australian terrorist and the closer on his 2010 solo album Strange Tourist, feeding his guitar through a synthy fuzz, altering his voice with an echo pedal, belting out lyrics like “Living in a nightmare you can’t bribe your way out of“ with an abandon all the more furious for the intervening years.

It’s one of a total of three long players telling variously of death, destruction, desire and devotion - an alliterative garden of sonic delights given nuance by the freeform stylings of Chris Abrahams, a man who laughs at sheet music, and the urgent yet curiously beautiful drum patterns of Jim White. It’s jazz as risk; as a living music able to absorb other forms – here, art-rock, experimental noise, even doom metal. Jazz sprung from the dark.
