Unfurl is the jazztronica project led by bass guitarist and producer Mike Flynn and featuring trumpeter Rowan Porteous, together they create a cinematic mix of cutting-edge electronica, powerful melodies and gritty jazz improvisation. Drawing together a wide range of textures – from crunching lo-fi beats, bristling synth bass-lines, downtempo and drum’n’bass beats – the project explores a highly distinctive sound-world. Described by Tony Benjamin in Jazzwise magazine as featuring “complex electronica and FX bass… with hints of dub and grime beats” the duo will be previewing new music from their next EP. The project builds on the critical acclaim of 2022’s The Unfurl EP which featured leading UK musicians such as trumpeters Jay Phelps and Nick Walters, keyboardist Rebecca Nash, harpist Alina Bzhezhinska and guitarist Ant Law and was described by Jazz FM’s Rouhangeze as “otherworldly… just awesome”.
