Aquiles Navarro

• 140-gram black vinyl LP

• 4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

The debut album from Aquiles Navarro and Tcheser Holmes, 2020's Heritage of the Invisible II showcases the Brooklyn-based avant-garde duo's phantasmagorically imaginative mix of free jazz, Afro-Caribbean traditions, and electronic production.

The album is bookended by two spacy electronic-sounding tracks, the opening "Initial Meditation" and the closing "Remix by Madam Data," both of which feature swinging drum patterns with what sound like eerie noises captured in outer space. As with all of Heritage of the Invisible II, the tracks speak to Navarro and Holmes' ability to tap into their richly shared cultural history and far-reaching, collage-like experimentation.
