Gunnelpumpers je sastav stacioniran u Chicagu, formiran 2002. godine. Zajedno sa aktuelnim, do sada su objavili tri albuma, a četvrti očekuju da će biti realizovan tokom 2013. Deluju u postavi seksteta, sa prilično čudnom sviračkom varijantom, a ona se sastoji od tri bass izvođača, bubnjara i perkusioniste, kao i gitariste. Njihova muzika je prilično intuitivna, i sa puno elena i strasti članovi postave pristupaju svakoj temi koju izvode. Izvođački stil je u potpunosti okrenut improvizaciji, i u njihovoj muzici vidljivi su elementi fusiona, progressive detalja kao i eksperimentalnih formi.

“Tritonium” se sastoji od 3 duže instrumentalne teme. Psihološki, Ameri su takođe inficirani sedamdesetim godinama kao i krautrockom, što je naročito vidljivo u tretiranju aranžmana. Ipak, za njih se može reći i da prihvataju standarde ovog vremena. Gunnelpumpers zavređuju pažnju, iako njihov pristup i koncept nije toliko jednostavan i “lak” za širu slušalačku populaciju.

Ocena: 8 / 10
