The Lovecraft Sextet marks the long-awaited return of all round multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Jason Köhnen into the realms of Darkjazz. The forthcoming debut album, ‘In Memoriam’ (out on Denovali Records on September 24), sees Köhnen further explore his unbridled love for cinematic jazz-oriented compositions.
Inspired by death, release and rebirth, ‘In Memoriam’ also incorporates funereal aspects of classical, operatic and Gregorian music, adding tonal depth to his previous work with The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation.
Today, we’re thrilled to premiere “De Mysteriis [Musicorum],“ the second single of ‘In Memoriam’, which, like the whole record, also ties in with his first narrative short story that will be part of the album release.
