about

The band's first album, Mad Weather Good Friends, was the child of endless jams, of instrumental pieces that keep on going, crumble and rise again throughout the solos. For Broken Glass, if Laura Wamba lends her face to the cover, it is not by chance. This time it’s an album made of songs.

Songs mean lyrics, and this kind of writing, different from the one musicians are used to, they all took head on. Addiction, emotional dependency, loneliness, love and escapism are approached in terms broad enough for everyone to find themselves in. The words are chosen; the interpretation is free.

The WPTC trademark is still there: this richness in the arrangements and a wealth of influences. Snarky Puppy and their Family Dinner(s) as the immovable patron saints, followed closely by Supertramp and Pink Floyd, the ambient of Aphex Twin or the soul of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak in Silk Sonic.

They claim the right, in 2023, to write real intros (Trapped In Forever) and outros (Amande). The atmosphere is subdued, but a few rays of sunshine sometimes pierce through the synthesizers (Sunburns and Peppo).

And if these arrangements don’t suit you, go and see them live: they will remind you that they are jazz musicians first and that, under penalty of losing their membership card, nothing will be played the same way twice.
