Ground Patrol’s new record Migrations is a single, majestic piece guided by loop-driven improvisation.

Rare footage from Ian Backer of natural imagery ties in perfectly to the music, while artist/programmer Jon McCormack informs the album’s artwork through generative evolutionary systems to create something natural but wholly digital, a paradox within tangibility yet between worlds.
As the fourth release from drummer Alon Ilsar and guitarist Kyle Sanna, Migrations portrays a version of Ground Patrol nearing their apex. The record manifests the duo’s desire to perform swarming rhythms and stampeding beats, never standing still as they wander over great swathes of texture.
Driven by pure improvisation, the record takes pays homage to Oren Ambarchi’s Hubris, Steve Reich, Surgeon and the Gnawa musicians of Morocco. The final product is sharp, clear and poignant – a journey within a journey as the intricacies of each shifting rhythm eloquently outline.
