Perhaps the world's slowest jazz flagships Bohren & der Club of Gore return to Vilnius.
Exactly 5 years ago, the German doom jazz trio returned to Vilnius, having plunged the packed Congress Hall into a journey of colors. Only this time - to the most suitable space for their music - the church. And not for nothing, because they play extremely slow jazz, which, paradoxically - creates millions of colors in the imagination with every moment - is also baptized as funeral or simply funeral jazz. Therefore, better places to die from catharsis and then be reborn to life than St. St. John's Church, with the Bohrens, March 25, probably not much.
6 years after Piano Nights and more than 12 since the cult hit Dolores, Bohren & Der Club of Gore released their eighth studio album Patchouli Blue just before the pandemic in 2020, which contains an unusually large number of tracks for a group - as many as eleven . On the other hand, all 11 tracks in total last a little more than an hour, which means that the unique atmosphere of the Bohrens has not disappeared anywhere - the same enjoyment of great slowness, only extracted in a much shorter time span. On Patchouli Blue, the organ brings you to your knees, while the saxophone directs the carefully crafted tension into a landscape where you can meet either your darkest demon or a pillar of light from earth to sky.
The vaults of the sacred space recalling centuries, the blinding darkness to refine the imagination, the candles to strengthen the ritual practice and millions of shades reflecting in your imagination when you close your eyes - this will be the concert of Bohren & der Club of Gore in St. John's Church, Vilnius, on March 25 next year.
