Greek trio MOb returns with new single “Tipping Point”, offering a first taste of their highly anticipated album “MOb II”, due out November 28th via Veego Records.
The track features Felipe, a.k.a. Waking Monkey, on spoken word/ rap, while mixing and mastering are handled by award-winning producer Bruno Ellingham (Massive Attack, Portishead), bringing a refined, international edge to their sound.
With its explosive groove, modern influences, and captivating atmosphere, “Tipping Point” marks a bold new artistic direction for MOb and sets the stage for an album that promises to stand out.
MOb is a trio from Athens and one of the most distinctive acts on the Greek music scene. Their name, symbolizing movement and dynamism, reflects their fluid and ever-evolving approach to composition and performance.
Their music lies at the intersection of melodic electronic jazz, krautrock, cinematic textures, and exploratory post-punk. Using saxophone, bass, drums, synthesizers, and live electronics, they craft multi-layered sonic landscapes. Their compositions are characterized by open forms, with improvisation navigating between melody and sonic experimentation.
MOb has performed at festivals and venues such as the Athens Jazz Festival, Athens Epidaurus Festival, Jazz Jantar Festival, Microcosmos, among others. Their live shows are immersive and intense, showcasing their experimental edge and creative ingenuity.
Their debut album, “MOb1”, received outstanding international reviews. The Guardian described it as “a thrilling example of contemporary jazz,” while Avopolis named it the best Greek album of the year 2023. On BBC Radio 6, Gilles Peterson praised their work as a “great group from Greece,” with other critics noting the trio “sounds like a full orchestra of experimentation”.
