Lifted - 2 LP LP

Lifted - 2 [VINYL LP] : PAN welcomes back the Lifted ensemble for a second cross-continental adventure off the grid, simply titled 2. Lifted's latest release expands on the expression of improvised fusion that brought about the spectrum of styles explored on their 2015 debut album for PAN (PAN 061LP). Expansion is a key theme to 2, primarily in the musicians involved; Lifted is now a core group of Future Times boss Max D, Matt Papich aka Co La, Jeremy Hyman, and Motion Graphics. Expansion also relates to musical ideas Lifted explore and the studio techniques executed. Whereas the way they approached the idea of improvisation on 1 was framed in jazz terms, the seven-tracks on this second LP step even further into the vivid unknown. Zero boundaries for the exploratory impulse. As with the debut Lifted LP, listening to 2 is an open invitation to experience the worldwide creative framework surrounding these artists. The collaborators for each track, whether present in the studio or online, show what a fluid and freeform exercise Lifted can be. Max D's international crew of Future Timers play deft roles throughout 2. Jordan GCZ and Dawit Eklund both return alongside 1432 r's Sami, NYC's Will DiMaggio, and Sao Paulo's Repetentes 2008.
