Monarch Magazine reviews EARPRINT

"...pleasing sonic inventiveness and inspired improvisations"

Monarch Magazine, a publication "for connoisseurs seeking the very best that life has to offer," wrote about Earprint for its Winter 2016 issue. Check out the full text below:

A young quartet with new ideas and the chops to realize them, Earprint's debut CD draws as much from Ornette Coleman as it does from rock, hip-hop, swing, and minimalism. The chordless group, which formed while the players were students at New England Conservatory, features saxophonist Kevin Sun, trumpeter Tree Palmedo, bassist Simón Willson, and drummer Dor Herskovits. While Sun is the primary composer, all the members make at least one contribution to the recording's eleven original tracks. The group calls their approach "aggressively melodic" and "shamelessly youthful." It's certainly fresh, full of pleasing sonic inventiveness and inspired improvisations.
