Burnside Album Details

The first full-length studio effort from 7 member collective Montreal electro jazz merchants, Kobayashi. Recorded on 24-track tape in just under a week, the album infuses mature arrangements with the energy of spontaneity and improvisation. The analog process adds the desired roundness to Kobayashi’s sound – a dark blend of jazz, funk, dub and trip-hop. "A disc that affectionately tips its hat to everything from chill-out grooves to be-bop." — Bernard Pérusse - Montreal Gazette (4 Star Review)
