Featuring:

“Hypercolor - a full-tilt jazz-rock band ... gripping self-titled debut” New York Times

“The real star of the show is the interplay between the three virtuosi” All About Jazz

“A fierce unit specializing in a noise-bathed jazz/rock hybrid. Hypercolor hammer out, literally, a cerebral and methodical assault on the senses” NYC Jazz Record

“Maoz provides the Israeli scales. Ilgenfritz was trained in jazz and classical traditions but calls himself a ‘noise-rock enthusiast’. Being a percussionist, Ligeti has soaked up considerable African polyrhythmic influences over time. And being the son of György Ligeti, he is plenty familiar with European modes” Pop Matters...

“Although they have been performing together for eight years now, the New York avant-garde trio Hypercolor released their self-titled debut recording early this year. It was worth the wait, as the band – guitarist Eyal Maoz, bassist James Ilgenfritz and drummer Lukas Ligeti – lets fly with a rough-edged, wildly inventive amalgam of punkish melodic provocation and rhythmic adventurism that defies classification. Is it jazz? Rock? A funhouse mirror monstrosity à la Frank Zappa? No matter what one calls it, it’s an undeniably daring and exhilarating ride.
It’s too early to tell whether Hypercolor represents a new evolution in jazz-inflected art-rock. But in the moment, it’s a listening experience with expansive effects on both the ears and the mind” Matt R. Lohr in JazzTimes about the group’s 2015 debut album, Hypercolor.
