Swim Two Birds - The Bloody Thumb Cookbook

With “The Bloody Thumb Cookbook”, Bremen-based band SWIM TWO BIRDS have already released their third album on Call it Anything. In the past, when it came to SWIM TWO BIRDS, there was already talk of "bandit jazz" - because no other band crosses avant-garde, jazz, rock, funk and noise as irreverently as the „weird birds“ from the Hanseatic city, who have long since achieved a kind of cult status. Wave and rock fans have always had a lot to do with the music and image of SWIM TWO BIRDS, and all those who are fond of avant-garde jazz in the tradition of the Lounge Lizards, for example, will be delighted with SWIM TWO BIRDS.
With the „Bloody Thumb Cookbook“, SWIM TWO BIRDS concentrate on their true strengths: The album was recorded "live" and contains a large portion of poetry by the English poet and reciter Jack Marlow. In addition, the SWIM TWO BIRDS around saxophonist Achim Gätjen have an outstanding rhythm section, and the brass section is second to none (not only in this country). Experts have long regarded the SWIM TWO BIRDS as the best that Germany has to offer in terms of avant-garde jazz rock.
The Bloody Thumb Cookbook“ was produced by Rolf Kirschbaum, one of Germany's most respected producers.
