-
The
Heliocentrics
are
a
group
for
which
genres
are
meaningless
and
boundaries
invisible.
Since
first
appearing
on
DJ
Shadow’s
2006
album
The
Outsider
the
group
have
gone
on
to
release
a
string
of
records
that
float
through
jazz,
hip-hop,
psych,
krautrock,
and
musique
concrete
whilst
collaborating
with
numerous
genre
heavyweights
from
Mulatu
Astake
to
Gaslamp
Killer
and
picking
up
prestigious
fans
along
the
way,
such
as
Madlib
and
the
recently
departed
David
Axelrod.
The
primarily
instrumental
group,
who
operate
out
of
their
vintage
analogue
studio
in
East
London
called
the
Quatermass
Sound
Lab,
bring
in
a
new
singer
on
album
number
four
-
a
young
Slovakian
singer
called
Barbora
Patkova.
The
result
is
an
album
that
takes
the
band,
already
solidified
in
ever-expanding
grooves
and
rhythms
into
new
previously
unexplored
dimensions.
The
group’s
deep-set
ability
to
craft
music
intuitively
and
impulsively
stems
from
a
desire
to
avoid
typical
processes
or
generic
structures.
Since
its
conception,
the
band's
music
has
mainly
been
created
from
live
improvisation.
This
musical
approach
gives
the
band
its
own
sound
and
identity
-"for
anything
to
happen
it
must
be
at
that
time
from
the
people
in
the
room,
and
on
the
spot".
A
decade
of
such
sonic
adventures
has
resulted
in
a
tightly
knit
bond
that
the
group
refer
to
as
“almost
a
form
of
telepathy”
with
“musical
changes
that
otherwise
would
be
near
impossible
to
write."
