The saxophone, as James Blake recently put it to Lil Yachty in their recent Complex interview, is the one instrument whose entire contributions he’d “delete” from musical history. His reasoning? “The saxophone is like the guy at the party who’s done too much coke, and he’s telling you about his new business idea.”
Consider south London duo O.’s debut album ‘WeirdOs’. Joe Henwood’s saxophone, put through all sorts of effect pedals, sounds like the guy who’s done too much of all the drugs. If anything, Henwood and Tash Keary (drums) might have accelerated the demise of the saxophone if Blake had it his way – but oh, how thrilling they’ve made it sound.
What makes O.’s saxophone so captivating is their use of saxophonics, which augments the instrument’s sound with numerous effects pedals. Pioneered by jazz musicians Eddie Harris and Sonny Stitt in the 1960s, O. layer pedal after pedal until the saxophone morphs into a hulking, growling beast, like a crunching guitar on steroids.
