Malamute is Jim Black’s latest gathering of like-minded musical souls. The band toured Europe for the first time in May 2015 performing sketches of the music to be, experimenting with different ways songs and structures could be recombined to reflect on each of their musical voices, distilling a band sound from their chemistry.

One year later Malamute went into the studio with new compositions and arrangements recording their debut album. Based upon the idea of mix tapes and playlists, the music changes every few minutes, a sort of “short attention span” approach to improvisation and composition that keeps the listener engaged there it was time to form a band together.”

Der rastlose Rhythmus-Virtuose Jim Black präsentiert im Anschluss an sein Intakt-Debüt 'The Constant' im Trio sein neues Quartett Malamute mit Óskar Guðjónsson, Elias Stemeseder und Chris Tordini.

Angetrieben von einer kraftvollen Dynamik vereinen die rhythmisch und melodisch vertrackten Songs Melancholie mit expressiver Exalthiertheit. Innerhalb der 13 kurzgehaltenen Stücken vibriert eine Unberechenbarkeit in Form rasch wechselnder Klangtexturen mit, wobei abrupte Umbrüche in eine glückvolle Gleichzeitigkeit des Verschiedenen überführt werden.

Jim Blacks Malamute ist ein pulsierender musikalischer Organismus, der sich von der Idee der Simultanität
vermeintlicher Gegensätzlichkeiten nährt. Im Minutentakt ändert sich die Musik jeweils komplett und generiert dergestalt einen überraschungsreichen Sog des Unerwarteten.
