TOTW: The Comet Is Coming-Super Zodiac

The Comet Is Coming create aggressive, groove orientated jazz that’s easy to be drawn into. They subvert a more traditional three Trio style by replacing the bass/piano player with a synth player who fills in both roles. This is blended with saxophone and drums to create a fresh direction, which they explore throughout their latest album “Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery.”

There are many great tracks on this album but, on first listen, Super Zodiac stood out to me. The track opens with lush synth chords that become the foundations of the chorus. This drifts away, replaced with a synth bass line, intricate drum patterns and attacking, distorted saxophone. Its raucous tones build to cacophonous choruses, jammed full of energy and power:
