Uncivilized

Uncivilized is a New York-based jazz collective headed by Tom Csatari. They first appeared in 2016 with the Melted Candy EP, and followed up with a string of singles and EPs leading up to their debut full-length in 2018, Uncivilized Plays Peaks. The album mixed tunes from Angelo Badalamenti's Twin Peaks soundtrack with Csatari originals. Their music is composed, but loose, and while the horns may sometimes head into free territory, it's a melodic and exuberant sound. In 2020, the group introduced their new album with a series of singles, including a collaboration with trumpeter Jamie Branch.
