WOLF FACE is a collective who explore sound and improvisation within the structure of songs. These compositions include growling prehistoric textures, emotive rock anthems, sultry Americana tinged ballads, inventive covers, raw progressive jazz snarls, rocktronica, and delicate chamber pieces. Jesse Neuman's trumpet ranges from close rough hewn whisper to dizzyingly processed dagger. Six-string electric bassist Simon Jermyn (Matt Maneri, Tom Rainey) embraces the songs with propulsive lines and lush looped soundscapes. Drummer Jeff Davis (Tony Malaby) is a fortress of preternatural instincts, pushing the band to the edge of its limits while holding the center. On their debut release, "The World Has Time to Bloom," Teddy Kumpel's mixing expertise exploits the timbre of each song individually, eliciting an indefinable palette of sound and style. WOLF FACE is raging, patient, powerful, and beautiful.
