Description
A rare, heavyweight Record Store Day 2026 collaboration, Heliocentrics, Marshall Allen, Knoel Scott & Bilal – “Nuclear War (RSD 2026)” brings together four distinct forces in experimental jazz, spiritual improvisation, and avant-garde soul for a pressing that feels as urgent as its title suggests.
Anchored by the visionary ensemble Heliocentrics and guided by the legendary saxophone pioneer Marshall Allen—a cornerstone of the Sun Ra Arkestra—this release expands into a multi-generational dialogue of cosmic jazz expression. The unmistakable voice and sax work of Knoel Scott adds a fierce, exploratory edge, while the soulful intensity of Bilal pushes the track into new emotional territory.
At its core is a reinterpretation of “Nuclear War,” a composition historically associated with prophetic urgency and satirical bite. Here, it is reimagined for vinyl in a way that feels both timeless and unsettlingly contemporary—layered with dense instrumentation, improvisational fire, and hypnotic grooves that unfold differently with every listen.
