Wonder Trail

Editors’ Notes With Wonder Trail, UK trumpeter Laura Jurd and Dinosaur heighten the sonic intrigue they began in 2016 with Together, As One. Jurd’s horn is ever-present, but it’s the synthesizers, played by Jurd and Elliot Galvin, that add a surreal and daring quality to the music, whether it’s the grinding chords of “Shine Your Light” or the playful, machinelike melodizing of “Old Times’ Sake.” Electric bassist Conor Chaplin and drummer Corrie Dick outline every rigorous compositional detail while surrendering to the spirit of mayhem when needed.
