Ten years into a collaborative working relationship that has seen them become a widely celebrated act on the European scene, Let Spin are feeling anything but nostalgic

'Thick As Thieves', represents an exhilarating departure in terms of working methods and an opportunity to capture their thrilling live show in the studio. Whilst the unshackled phrasing of the Paul Motian Trio, the low-end, post-punk riffs and rhythmic pedals of Zu's Carboniferous, the hymnal searchings of Albert Ayler, the sonic textures of Ribot's Scelsci Morning or the irreverent post- rock stylings of Jim Black's AlasNoAxis might suggest an aesthetic starting point, Let Spin have created a powerful and expressive album full of vitality and purpose. One which is original and daring and one which places Let Spin as a unique voice on the contemporary European scene.
