You want, you need, you crave something different . . . Cobalt Confidential, the new album by ICONOCLAST, will satisfy all your desires. This daring fresh approach to jazz will challenge your senses, rip your mind open and make you sweat.
ICONOCLAST, the internationally acclaimed duo from New York City, is comprised of Julie Joslyn (alto saxophone, violin, live electronics, vocals) and Leo Ciesa (drums, keyboards, vocals). Cobalt Confidential is their twelfth album.
“Blending quasi-jazz with pop-rock and classic melodies, movie-like music with noisy improvisation and fast hardcore, this duet brought their own elegant freakiness to the stage and their show remained unforgettable.”
—Black Syrup (Serbia)
“Iconoclast, one of the world’s definitive noir jazz acts, the duo of Julie Joslyn and Leo Ciesa have built a distinctive body of work that’s part rainswept nocturnes, part edgy downtown improvisation and part punk jazz…Perennially fresh and always with a dark undercurrent, Iconoclast have more than earned themselves iconic status.”
—New York Music Daily/Lucid Culture
“This cyclothymia is fun and enthralling . . . a 'blues' sentiment of restlessness and grotesque unease, close to the mood of American Horror Story, this dark and angry age.”
—Blow Up Magazine (Italy)”
“Julie Joslyn and Leo Ciesa create explosive free music and soaring melodies that mingle gorgeously on an unpredictable playlist. The duo is a grand array of sound.”
—The New York City Jazz Record
