masok: the bigger the risk
Francisco Espregueira
Masok are a four-piece future soul band based in Tel Aviv releasing their impressive debut album, The Bigger The Risk, via Raw Tapes. What started as some bedroom beats grew into a colourful ten-track album led by Jenny Penkin’s voice, fusing complex arranged compositions, intricate rhythms and electronic-acoustic drum combinations.
Fresh, airy, dreamy The Bigger The Risk is a confident debut, showcasing the band’s love for their contemporary R&B and jazz roots. Masok find their perfect musical playground, blending the wide spectrum of influences of its members. Smooth new stuff to appreciate and groove, courtesy of Raw Tapes Records. Available for purchase digitally, The Bigger The Risk is a record that should come out on vinyl in the near future. At least we hope so.
Jenny Penkin - Vocals; Nomok - Production & Keys; Tal Kohavi - Drums; Omri Shani - Bass.
