Description:

Plasma is an album by Ikarus, released in 2022. The album is a jazz CD. In Greek, plasma is defined as a malleable substance. Itâ??s what stars are made of. When lightning strikes, plasma is created. In essence, it's matter in a high energy state. Poetically speaking, however, itâ??s something akin to natureâ??s special effects, i.e., itâ??s what makes beautiful, magical things transpire; whether itâ??s the seemingly infinite spray of fire suspended out in space or the flickering, buzzing, multi-colored signs cluttering a narrow side-street in Hong Kong. On their fourth full-length record, Ikarus turns their attention towards what is officially considered the fourth state of matter, hence the title: Plasma. Plasma marks a major shift for the bandâ??away from the sonically â??immersiveâ? and towards an almost tactile, physical quality of sound: the type that is associated with functional electronica. This is also Ikarus at their most affecting, playful, and fluent. Thereâ??s a lot of latent hope found in these compositions, and the turns are wild! Their rhythmic and harmonic equations are as complex as everâ??on Altaelva the time signature changes from 7/4 to 6/4 to 5/4 respectivelyâ??but their delivery is marked by a lightness and infused with a spectral gradient of emotion. -

Plasma marks a major shift for the band-away from the sonically "immersive" and towards an almost tactile, physical quality of sound: the type that is associated with functional electronica. This is also Ikarus at their most affecting, playful, and fluent. The record, like that stuff lighting up a rural sky, is an energy. It's something awe-inspiring, both familiar and alien. It's also five instrumentalists who figured out how to maintain their individual voices while becoming one: a seamless, highly malleable substance.
