Dynamic, scene-setting purveyors of electronica The Pnuma Trio have been known for their forward-thinking compositions and moving, powerful improvisations since their explosion onto the scene in 2004. These three upstarts use classical and jazz training to hammer out beat-driven compositions that encompass the funkiness of the jam scene and the mind-bending progressions of electronica. And yes, you can dance to it. Ben Hazelgrove, Alex Botwin, and Lane Shaw are proud to call STS9's very hot 1320 Records their home as they gear up for a new release later this year. With a refined, glitch-informed electro/hip-hop feel and all the dynamic energy of their DJ-killing live show, this new album (and tour) represents a significantly evolved version of Pnuma's futuristic sound; tighter, more focused, and higher resolution.
