Review on KIMU

Wolkenpark release dimensional double single, Lazy Day / Standing Back
«Establishing a mood with an elegant drum riff and electric bass, Zurich-based Wolkenpark open their double single with emotion and nuance as we explore the first of the two tracks, Lazy Day.
A trumpet becomes the main protagonist of the composition, as we experience psychedelic detailing on the opus, which lends itself to ambient and funky acid-jazz frequency.
Lazy Day has a cinematic feel, which would fit cohesively into a 90s movie. We appreciate the dimensional soundscape that the foursome have created, and the cosmic nuances which add energy to the piece.
Coming from a jazz background, three of the four artists being teachers at Swiss jazz schools, Wolkenpark feature a fusion of self-described “nasty grooves” and synthesized sounds. The trumpet is performed by Kriz «Flew» Flueler, rhodes by Julien Boss, electric bass by Jean-Pierre Schaller (who also composed the track) and drums by Andy Brugger. The foursome cite Glasper, Zawinul, Miles and Goldie as influences, although it is clear that they are creating a universe of their own.
Next up is Standing Back, which takes on a more sultry energy, which has us feeling meditative as the band takes us on a more intimate journey, once again with emotive trumpet performed by Kriz «Flew» Flueler, who was the composer for this opus.
We learn that both compositions are live recordings, taking two to four takes for each track, which has us imaging how epic Wolkenpark would be to experience live. The studio versions are amplified by Kriz who played additional trumpets, flugelhorns, valve trombones and even a tuba to further dimensionalize the tracks.
We have added both songs to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we await an album from Wolkenpark, which is due out in September 2022.»

  • A nice and original sounding song
  • Me gustó mucho, muy beastie boys, lindo
  • Not really a big fan of jazz but this one got me
  • I like this beat for real!
  • Cool jazz/reggae fusion. Some nice sonorities/sound design at 2:00. Mellow brass melody. Rootwords kind of takes me out of the vibe – mostly because I wasn’t expecting the rap vocals. A little tired of rap everywhere, but that’s just me! Well produced, strong ensemble.
  • The best Swiss Zambian combo i’ve ever heard!
  • Good combination of tensioned jazz with rap singing and double time drums. Good production!

  • Very nice groove, I dig the bass
  • Interesting Jazz vibe, good work
  • Great production great feel and bars!
  • Loved the drum/bass groove – it’s crispy AF. Wasn’t a huge fan of the melodic/harmonic material – (It’s a little to open fifth-ish, which takes away from the harmonic content). Like the modern fusion with the vocals! Cool concept!
  • The sound is crisp and clear; the instruments are very gentle. The lyrics are delivered in a very distinctive style, and it is very fitting. Good work!
  • The percussive elements really grab your attention right away and the horn parts that come in really build suspense for the track. I really like the combination of more hip hop influenced vocals with jazz instrumentals.
  • Very great collbab! your drummer is absolutely amazing!! STiCKS OUT!
  • Interesting mix of styles, backing band is sick!
  • Good combination of tensioned jazz with rap singing and double time drums. Good production!
  • That sounds good guys! Love the jazz fusion intro, that keep this natural and orignal, great skills for compose! You built a really interesting composition, natural in all the waves, the jazzy melody give so special harmony blended with psychedelic jazzy fusion and the kind of singin to the melody really surprise us, you have skills bro! So difficult make something like this!
  • Nice experimental track! Great bass and use of orchestration! Clear sound! Great mix of rap vocals and jazz vibes!
  • Hey. I think you have a really good track here, original and great arrangement!
