Single Review: Reacher

Picture a wonderfully blissful day, slow wanderings around the park as it blooms fully into the start of a new creation, beckoning good will and tidings to all that seek it. With that picture in mind, now listen to the new single from Hummucide Reacher and transcend the only way possible from the vibe that jazz music can only touch.

Jazz music has its own place in the music folklore for having something in its loins that no other genre can claim as their own. Okay, I might be over stepping my writing and reviewing credentials, but Hummucide do a wonderful job of creating a wonderful piece of music that tickles the taste buds for a musical revival of sorts. From its psychedelic start, to its raspy sax solo that gravitates through most of the song. If I have learnt something from my humble 40 years on this planet, is you cannot go wrong with some saxophone. Amazingly, there is some real funk to this song that should not go unnoticed, especially with the use of the keyboard in the middle, as it takes centre stage away from the sax.

Instrumental songs are very hit and miss in today’s world as song lyrics and the singer can add a lot to the production and overall quality of the song itself. I think the song carries itself very well and does not feel like it is dragging on at all even though it is four and half minutes long. The subtle changes in the vibe allow the song to continue to feel fresh all the way through. I really enjoyed this song, and it gave me a renewed want to investigate the jazz scene on a different level, well done chaps.
