SML treats instruments as portals, not tools. The quintet's voracious, Miles Davis-evoking set exhausts one sonic world, then pivots hard into another for 80 minutes of restless discovery.

SML is a supergroup formed in 2024 by Anna Butterss (electric bass), Jeremiah Chiu (synthesizer, sampling, percussion), Josh Johnson (saxophone, electronics), Booker Stardrum (drums, percussion) and Gregory Uhlmann (electric guitar, effects). Their debut album was praised by Pitchfork as a landmark of contemporary vanguard music, noted for pushing the boundaries of jazz toward a new, genre‑defying direction.
