In November 2020, with the entire world locked down at home, Amir Bresler was itching to create. He’d spent years onstage, but never released a full solo album. A friend’s invitation brought him to a rural village outside Tel Aviv, and the move lit a spark: Bresler set up shop in the village’s local auditorium named ‘The House of Arches’, and planned single-day sessions with different combinations of Tel Aviv’s finest, including keyboardist/producer Rejoicer, Yemen Blues frontman Ravid Kahalani, bassist Gilad Abro, pianist Nomok and trumpeter Sefi Zisling.

For nearly a week, crews of friends drove north and dug into psychedelic jazz and funk, all built upon Bresler’s polyrhythmic beats. They captured spontaneous bursts of energy — free-form jams in the morning reigned into tight, mesmerizing grooves in the afternoon. Those six compositions — each recorded live in one day — make up House of Arches, Amir Bresler’s first solo LP.
