Neo-jazz wrecking-crew Sly & The Family Drone summon forth a new vision of terror and transcendence with the video premiere of ‘Glistening Benevolence’. Filmed at an undisclosed, shadowy music festival in the heart of Hampshire, the visual journey is a macabre ritual of psychedelic sludge, blending live performance footage with ominous vignettes of slime-coated landscapes, cosmic dread, and unholy rites under the moon.

Like much of new album Moon Is Doom Backwards, it’s a patient, stalking, lurking thing. A properly noir, noise noisette – as notable for its stretches of quiet atmosphere as it is for its pummelling skronk. Sly’s is a strange sort of quietude, though: a drums-heard-through-the-wall, disquieting-electrical-hum kind of quiet. An eavesdropping-PI, solo-sax-on-rooftop sort of quiet.

The haunting video for ‘Glistening Benevolence’ can be watched right here, right now on All Hallows Eve. Moon Is Doom Backwards will be available from November 15 through Human Worth in physical and digital formats, with 10% of the proceeds donated to the charity Melanoma UK.

With a reputation for unpredictable, immersive noise performances, Sly & the Family Drone have cemented their place in the UK’s underground scene creating experiences as chaotic as they are cathartic. The new album is their sparsest & most atmospheric album to date, it really explores in detail and depth the relationship of dynamics, and pushes out into new territories. And while it’s still jazz, it’s jazz exploded, fragmented, dissected, and reimagined.
