We are delighted to have Mercury award nominees Led Bib in the house! Their radical styles have been compared to John Zorn, Ornette Colman and Frank Zappa – what’s not to like?
‘“ a joyous explosion of noise that brought me nothing but a contented grin” – UK Jazz News
“Their whimsical sax noodlings and pitch-bending North African inflections, which give way to thundering rock power (Ceasefire), their Zappa-like hooks descending to free-dirgey staggers (On the Roundabout), and a little amiable folk-dancing (Marching Orders), the unique Led Bib chemistry still bubbles.” – Guardian
Their new album will be released on legendary US-based Cuneiform Records in August 2025. The album represents a whole new departure for Led Bib.
With their 2019 release ‘It’s Morning’ on the renowned RareNoise records, their unique song-based collaboration marked the departure of their keyboard player and it seemed like it could be the end of the 20-year history of this ensemble, but 2024 brought a new opportunity. An offer to work as artists in residence at Hotel Pupik in the Austrian countryside to develop a completely new quartet sound without keyboards.
We cannot wait to hear the newest iteration of this epic band!
