Spontaneous Music Live contains two side-length pieces of unedited improvisation, recorded live at Los Angeles venue Zebulon during SML's December 2025 three-night residency, just weeks after the release of the band's second album HOW YOU BEEN. It was recorded and mixed live to stereo tape by Bryce Gonzales (the same engineer\/wizard known for his gorgeous live captures\/mixes of Jeff Parker's ETA IVtet). Between HOW YOU BEEN and their 2024 debut SMALL MEDIUM LARGE (both of which were heavily edited, shaped and post-produced) the band has developed a reputation for records that are heavily fused, polished, and punchy. The medium is on full post-modern display on those LPs, and the band's post-production knife can be responsible for much of the perspective-the tastiest morsels collected, arranged, and rearranged just so. Spontaneous Music Live removes the curatorial perspective and pulls the curtain back on that search-pluck-reconstruct editing process. What we're left with is the psychedelic realism of the band in situ, in their home town, collectively improvising, fully in-the-moment, mining for that moment of discovery. We hear, in macro, each nugget of sound which could be the basis for a future SML album track, spattered amongst the collective chaos-and-control like stars in the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracksCredits\u003cbr\u003e1 The Drums\u003cbr\u003e2 Roundabouts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Eye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42252960104503,"sku":"634457255685","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/6218\/8087\/files\/sml.jpg?v=1780267035","url":"https:\/\/hivoltagerecords.com\/products\/sml-spontaneous-music-live-lp-new","provider":"Hi-Voltage Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
