FIRETAIL

Firetail's music spans from 70’s jazz-fusion, South Indian Carnatic music and their very own brand of jazz-tronica. Formed in 2018 as a collaborative recording project, Firetail has developed an ambient approach to song-writing that blends soul-infused rhythms with evocative melodies and driving percussion.
From the bands earliest days playing warehouse parties and monthly dive bar residencies, the group has continued to push musical boundaries by collaborating with a wide variety of guest vocalist and instrumentalist. The result is colliding compositions that never stays in the box for long.

Its music for your ears, made with Baritone Sax, Bass Clarinet and Percussion by 3 musicians who have come together to express their shared love of silly grooves, music concrete and cutting edge other worldly sounds.
