12twelve - "L'univers"

Now defunct, the Spanish band 12Twelve showed in back in 2006 –with Steve Albini at the desk controls- the four points of a musical compass shared with artists like Sun Ra, Lalo Schifrin, The United States of America or the Chicago Art Ensemble. Their last album, L’Univers, encompasses many sounds, traditions and melodies which seem to come from Cuba, New York, Berlin or Barcelona, a captain’s log with an unknown, timeless star date: from 30’s style jazz improvisations to 70’s funk and 70’s Krautrock. White music, black music, dark music, bright music, this is L’Univers, a universe which still today, expands slowly and steadily.
