GARN these are the threads Meier, Stucki, Mueller, Steiner and Müller. What a crazy texture! Yarn! If you listen to the individual thread fabrication of Garn, you are amazed at the weave and weave, the colour nuances and the diversity that each individual of the band Garn brings to this formation. The weave of the band Garn guarantees a surprising thread live with every musical weave presented. Musically, anything is possible in this band.

"We're a bunch of outsiders who refused to be kept out," says High Pulp drummer Bobby Granfelt. "We've never had an academic approach to jazz-most of us grew up playing in DIY bands-so it was the rawness and the energy and the absolute freedom of the music that called to us in the first place." Indeed, there's something defiant, something utterly liberating about High Pulp's remarkable ANTI- Records debut, Pursuit of Ends. Drawing on punk rock, shoegaze, hip-hop, and electronic music, the band's brand of experimental jazz is both vintage and futuristic all at once, hinting at times to everything from Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to Aphex Twin and My Bloody Valentine.

The addition of Wiesinger has given the band an injection of new energy and we can hear the electricity buzzing on each track.
