Partikel’s latest album String Theory sees them pushing their own sonic and compositional boundaries by teaming up with four respected string players of the UK scene, fusing their love of jazz, rock and world music with the textures of a string quartet to create music that showcases an array of unique soundscapes. The string quartet has been integrated seamlessly into Partikel’s trademark style of raw emotion and fiercely interactive improvisations, striking a balance between intensity and rich harmony.

Enthusiastic reviews for String Theory continue to come in and here are the highlights from the latest:

“​Possesses the rare gift of incorporating strings into the improvisation process. The crossover of free, sing, rock, ethno and classical strengthens Partikel’s reputation as one of the most exciting trios in improvised music.” ​
Jazz Podium (website)

“String Theory is a fine record from an extended English trio that will make people want to hear them live…fine soprano saxophone play and langourous strings.”
Salt Peanuts (full review)

“This album is like a living thing: changeable, unpredictable. A feisty jazz trio – saxophone, bass, drums – meets an adventurous string quartet… constantly changing and always surprise.​”
