Find Letter X, the eponymous release from the Brooklyn-based band led by drummer/composer Kate Gentile featuring saxophonist Jeremy Viner, pianist Matt Mitchell, and bassist Kim Cass. Gentile’s 2021 release Snark Horse – co-led with Mitchell – was a gargantuan six-volume set that Downbeat called “Monumental… Creating an abstract galaxy from scratch, they sound like they know every black hole and supercluster in the place.”

The similarly-ambitious new work – across three densely-packed volumes housed in a custom-designed package – bursts with inventive details and dramatic arcs. Each disc contains a distinct thematic identity while simultaneously contributing to a larger narrative trajectory. Meticulously-constructed and highly intentional, Find Letter X is a wide-ranging exploration of diverse sonics and contrasting forms: a vibrant feedback loop of virtuosic improvisational and compositional ingenuity entirely unified by Gentile’s singular musical aesthetic.
