Captain Phil fills in for Jazz on the Air & Interviews ovrfwrd! OVRFWRD, from Minneapolis, MN., is an all instrumental quartet that formed in late 2012. The band members came together with diverse and complex backgrounds and musical influences. Originally the band intended to have a vocalist, but he never arrived at the recording sessions and the band decided to continue as an instrumental ensemble. The sound they developed is diverse, with hints of rock, jazz, and classical. It's the sound of a band that's working to always progress, never satisfied with genre or status. After releasing two albums, the band returned from the Fantasy Absent Reason tour that included legs with Stick Men (featuring members of King Crimson) and Kings X, and kept things moving forward by heading back in the studio with new material. The result will be their 3rd studio album, Blurring The Lines, which will be released on September 29. In addition, in the fall of 2017, OVRFWRD was filmed and recorded live at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN. The audio was released this summer as Occupations of Uninhabitied Space. The DVD of the performances will be available in the winter of 2018. Fierce. Over the top. Subtle changes. Playing in the moment. That’s the fun part. Building from a solid foundation, but always wth fresh surprises when discovering where the music will land. Barbarians at the gate; OVRFWRD is an instrumental band looking to prove every silent word |
