\"Troyka<\/p>\n

Guitarist Chris Montague, keyboard player Kit Downes and drummer Josh Blackmore make up the experimental jazz trio Troyka<\/a>. With two fantastic and ambitious records under their belt, they’ve have announced the release of their third studio album aptly named Ornithophobia<\/em>, after guitarist Chris\u2019 real fear of birds. Its title track paved the way for the whole album, which is set in a fictionalised London according to the press release, “a post-apocalyptic dystopian nightmare in which people have contracted a form of avian flu that is slowly turning them into human-size birds and gradually making them lose their minds”. Quoting influences like Tim Berne, Aphex Twin, Deerhoof, Albert King and Flying Lotus, Troyka push boundaries creating a unique world of their own that is both accessible yet unpredictable, warm yet dark, subtle yet groovy.
\nOrnithophobia<\/em> arrives on January 26th via Naim Jazz<\/a>. Here’s an album teaser to get you excited for this release.<\/p>\n
