Something on a Thin Rope

by GOG, 2019

Something on a Thin Rope is GOG's debut release, recorded during two hot summer days in Jerusalem, 2017. These tightly packed pieces improvised by Klein (cello), Biton (synth) and Lipitz (drums) come after some four years of intense playing together, and establish GOG's unique musical signature. With a highly delicate attention to sound, GOG bring some extreme playing into these rough, radiant and unexpected climates.

"This post-jazz, electro-acoustic trio offers a postmodernist pastiche of sounds, rough noises and expressive colors that never takes itself too seriously (“Veggie Dentist”), often suggests clever and ironic criticism of the Israeli daily noisy and chaotic environment (“Wedding”) and is not shy from being openly emotional."
