In the fiery heart of Austin, Texas, a musical force known as CAZAYOUX has emerged, crafting a soundscape with unmatched dedication and artistry. The group recently released its second full-length record, Echoes, via Worst Bassist Records, which shows the multinational act blending psychedelic funk, Afrobeat, and jazz in grand style.
Forest Cazayoux heads this ensemble, which has drawn together a diverse group of musicians from around the globe. With roots spanning Guinea, Japan, Mexico, and the United States, each member contributes a unique cultural narrative, creating a rich and dynamic tapestry of sound.
CAZAYOUX’s music defies simple categorization. Every note feels meticulously chosen, extracted from an eclectic palette, and woven into a symphony that resonates deeply with the listener. CAZAYOUX invites you on an auditory journey, where each rhythm and melody offers a new layer of discovery.
The band’s high-energy shows are a celebration of rhythm and groove, guaranteed to get the crowd dancing. With a constantly evolving sound and a commitment to pushing musical boundaries, CAZAYOUX is poised to become a lasting fixture in the music scene for years to come.
For now, let’s enjoy the new LP, Echoes. Austin has long been a breeding ground for innovative music, especially psychedelic music, as we discussed in our Best Psych Music of Texas playlist. With CAZAYOUX’s new record, the city can add another gem to its eclectic musical crown.
Echoes consists of ten tracks that bounce and sway with an upbeat psychedelic groove that may propel you into manic happiness. “Take Your Time” starts the record with driving bass, rhythmic precision, and a buoyant horn section. “Consumed” features tight and complex percussion, followed by the infectious energy and fast pace of “Echoes.” The party never stops on this record, and other high-energy tracks include “Humidity” and “Diabana.”
In a city known for its musical diversity, CAZAYOUX has carved out a niche all its own, and Echoes is proof that they’re just getting started. This is a band to watch. If you dig it, check out the group’s self-titled debut record from last year.
