Hoping to see you at one of our gigs the coming weeks!
There have been more great reviews for the new album Undrilling the Hole that we'll be presenting on 30 January at the Amsterdam Bimhuis!
“In a month with lots of excellent releases by well-known, high-profile musicians, this record was my favorite discovery. Based in Amsterdam and led by alto saxophonist/artistic director Tobias Klein, the sextet Spinifex mixes free improvisation, punk rock, and “jazz” with equal portions of artistry, irreverance, noise, and joy.”
- Mark Lomanno, Rhythm of Study
“…glitchy avant-rock, off-kilter rhythms, and instrumentations that feature saxophones added to a standard power trio.”
- Michael Schell, ‘Schell’s picks for 2024’, sequenza21.com
“It is a powerful work as it captures the dynamics and energy of punk and metal…. jazz and avant-jazz are modern and spirited with lots of free improvisations. The technical and complex subtleties of their music-making are combined with an exciting groove.”
- Michael Haifl, Saitenkult
“… free flowing, all-embracing musical majesties … incredibly impassioned album…”
- Anne Carlini

Tim Larsen in Jazz Views, reviewing the new Spinifex album Undrilling the Hole (Trytone). Thank you Tim!
“Amsterdam-based sextet Spinifex has long been a force to be reckoned with, blending free improvisation, punk energy, and intricate compositional mastery into a sound all their own. On their ninth album, UNDRILLING THE HOLE, they continue to push boundaries, crafting a compelling combination of meticulous complexity and primal energy, captivating both the intellect and the senses…. The album’s seven tracks, all composed by alto saxophonist and artistic director Tobias Klein, showcase Spinifex’s knack for melding diverse influences into a cohesive and pulse-pounding soundscape…UNDRILLING THE HOLE offers a thrilling ride, whether you’re drawn to the intricate interplay of its composed passages, the crazy abandon of its improvisations, or the sheer energy and inventiveness that radiates from every note.”
