    Polish label Astigmatic Records come through with a killer release to start 2019. Cykada is a six piece band, comprised of established musicians on the ever blossoming London jazz scene, including saxophonist James Mollison (Ezra Collective), drummer Tim Doyle (Maisha) and trumpeter Axel Kaner-Lidstrom (Where Pathways Meet). Cykada is an energetic bomb of unique style. Analog electronics crash with eastern and Western Africa style's, creating a high tempo, unique sound, that this london scene has yet to explore. Another essential from Astigmatic Records!
