Echoes of Zoo - Collective Intelligence

Musicians from Black Flower, Compro Oro, and De Beren Gieren present their new album ‘Collective Intelligence’ Diepe Afrikaanse grooves, wild oriental melodies, western accents: the latest record of Echoes of Zoo sounds both primitive and futuristic. Every beat bubbles with urgency and curiosity and thus emphasizes the message behind ‘Collective Intelligence': that we as humans can learn a lot from the intelligence of swarms, couples, and ecosystems in nature. The energy that arises when individuals move as one whole is exactly why the band of saxophonist Nathan Daems (Black Flower), with members of Compro Oro and De Beren Gieren, is a welcome guest at international festivals. And harvests glowing reviews in MOJO, JazzWise, and Stereogum. Is their third album jazz, global, or psychedelic? Come listen and judge for yourself. But one thing we already give away: standing still becomes impossible.
