“Transit” EP is the second release from electro-jazz quartet Koplant No. The new 4-track EP on saxophonist Joel Vanderheyden’s Mize Music imprint follows 2010’s critically-acclaimed eponymous debut. For “Transit,” the band went the do-it-yourself route opting to showcase the production abilities of trumpeter Brian Lewis Smith and bassist Drew Morton. The result is a thoughtful mix of the acoustic and synthetic; blending IDM elements, crackly field recordings, and homemade synths with modern jazz improvisation.
