Saajtak is a quartet that hails from Detroit/Brooklyn for voice, synth, bass and drums. Called "One of the most intriguing and unclassifiable bands in the country right now" (Tone Madison) and "verdant sonic architecture" (Foxy Digitalis), Detroit/Brooklyn band saajtak makes futuristic music that synthesizes a wide range of genres—often in ways that seem to clash against each other, always in service to the song. saajtak weaves together experimental electronica, free jazz, post-rock, trip-hop, and cosmic opera in a spirit of deep collaboration. The members of saajtak have worked with Wadada Leo Smith, Trevor Dunn, Sally Gates, Pope.L, Shara Nova, Adam O'Farrill, Toshi Reagon, Ragnar Kjartansson, ARTECHOUSE, Michael Formanek, and Chris Bruce to name a few.
Dumb Waiter
“This is a band that isn’t pushing the envelope so much as they’re shoving it right over the side of a goddamn cliff. If you’re tired of the same old same old, then Dumb Waiter absolutely MUST be on your radar.”
— MetalSucks
“The music reflects these concepts and the result is a very peculiar sonic blend that dances along the extreme cutting edge of music, jazz fusion doom with retrofuturistic alien buzzsaw synths and borderline klezmer saxophone lines laced throughout. The whole album feels like a dark alleyway with tinges of Pharaoh Sanders and later Miles Davis working its way out of windows along your walk.”
— New Noise Magazine
"Richmond, Virginia instrumental h/experimental/math rock freakies Dumb Waiter are no stranger topic the weird. But on their fourth album, Tsk, the band has only dived deeper into the strange, and they’ve done so by playing things a bit more straight. I mean, if that’s confusing, sure, welcome to the world of DumbWaiter."
