Azmari is thrilled to announce the release of their fourth opus, the 5-track EP ‘In Oculis’. The EP is a reflection of the band’s collective desire to reinvent themselves. With a more minimalistic approach, the four musicians have created an eclectic, intense, and vibrant body of work, recorded during various residencies in Belgium and abroad. The result is a fusion of genres that range from powerful grooves to cinematic jazz, from floating melodies to entrancing soundscapes.
For this new project, Azmari teamed up with a long-time collaborator, French musician Guillaume Souffrice (alias Mosso Mosso), who had already been Azmari's guitarist in the band's early days. Souffrice’s expertise as a music therapist and multi-instrumentalist, combined with his passion for cross-cultural rhythms and melodies, adds a new depth and dimension to the band's sound.
‘In Oculis’ is out now via Sdban Ultra, available on all streaming platforms, vinyl, and CD. Listen & order here.
