Long-running collaborators Elori Saxl & Henry Solomon present their new duo – a product of a freewheeling, celestial exploration of ambient and jazz combined with wispy pop melodies and sublime experimental production. Self-described as “improvised music from the ground up… a meeting of both our minds, musical performance, and taste”, both are key players in an emerging US underground of experimental composers who are redefining the modern vanguard. While Solomon is rooted in LA’s fertile jazz underground, Saxl is a proponent of NYC, taking up the torch of minimalism and fusing it with an electronic sensibility informed by soundsystem culture and modern pop production. Their debut album as a duo, Seeing Is Forgetting, is a work of stunning fluidity and intimate interplay. Across its nine tracks, Solomon’s baritone sax and bass clarinet weave tendrils around Saxl’s heartwrenching Juno 106 harmonies.

Seeing Is Forgetting is scheduled for a 6th February release on True Panther Records (Oklou, Model/Actriz, Jawnino), with the decision to release on the New York-based label an easy one, having nurtured a multitude of visionary artists with a shared aesthetic and cultural continuity. “We want the album to be rooted in these jazz and classical worlds and have a reverence for what came before in those worlds but also just be cool music that lots of people can like even if they’re not from that scene. More about like-minds over like-sounds. I think that was a big reason we were excited about working with True Panther– if you like Oklou and Frost Children, you could like this too. They obviously sound very different, but they share a core ethos.” The album is mixed & mastered by David Darlington, who’s also worked on Miles Davis, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston and Herbie Hancock.

While Solomon has been an active contributor to Saxl’s work over the last half-decade, playing in her quartet live and accompanying her on the Texada soundtrack and Drifts and Surfaces EP, Seeing Is Forgetting marks their first collaboration as equal partners. Explaining the record’s ethos, Saxl explains, “making this record was a lesson in presence, in opening to something outside yourself, in keeping moving and staying loose, in realizing I really don’t know anything.” Recorded over just a few nights in Los Angeles, the album is a testament to their near-telepathic intuition. Each moment breathes with unhurried elegance and an emotional depth that stops you in your tracks. Two pop obsessives (Solomon frequently plays with Miley Cyrus, Haim, Paramore, Vampire Weekend, and more), they bring a refracted interpretation of that shared love to Seeing, bridging the worlds of experimental improv and top 40 with surprising clarity.

Their live show expands on the physicality and presence of the record, bringing a meditative spontaneity to the works. The duo’s innate trust and shared vocabulary allow these pieces to be jumping off points each night, guideposts pointing them on fresh paths to the sublime. The duo will celebrate the record with a string of European & UK shows, with a stop at London’s iconic The Old Church venue on 11th February.
