With the echos of their debut EP, “Through Walls,” still ringing fresh in our ears, Golden Mean graces us once more with “Oumuamua.” Brought to life under London’s influential Jazz Re:freshed label, this record sees a rejuvenated lineup with the inclusion of renowned drummer Jamie Murray, adding depth to an already stellar ensemble that boasts the likes of Tom Driessler (notably associated with Yussef Kamaal), Luke Wynter, and Lyle Barton.
“Oumuamua” isn’t just an album; it’s a sonic odyssey. Propelled by celestial melodies and relentless rhythms, the album draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of genres including prog-rock and jazz, creating an amalgamation that’s as nostalgic as it is innovative. While the presence of retro synths might make one reminisce about yesteryears, the album’s essence is undeniably futuristic, especially with its intricate improvisations that seem to pay homage to legendary musicians from the 70s and beyond.
What sets Golden Mean apart, perhaps, is their ability to merge the past and the future, to weave nostalgia with anticipation. They’ve skillfully constructed a bridge between epochs, and “Oumuamua” is a testament to their journey through time, space, and sound. For any aficionado yearning for a trip beyond the mundane, Golden Mean’s latest is your ticket aboard.
