To be a fan of Sam Gendel is to give yourself over to a relentless wave of music. The 35-year-old Los Angeles-based saxophonist released his latest album Superstore last month and its title reflects its comprehensive nature: chances are you will find what you need in at least one of its 34 tracks.

Compared to last year’s 52-song, 224-minute epic Fresh Bread, however, it’s positively novella-like in its brevity. In total Gendel has released nine albums since the start of 2021, with Superstore following the curious Live A Little, an experimental pop album he made in collaboration with his 12-year-old sister-in-law Antonia Cytrynowicz.

Prior to this he released Satin Doll, an album of jazz standards reworked through a psychedelic hip-hop lens, and performed live as part of both Moses Sumney and Perfume Genius’s band.

Since this interview he has announced blueblue, another solo full-length due on October 14. Read Next: The 10 projects you should stream now If Gendel’s place in the musical landscape feels hard to pin down then Superstore doesn’t want to provide many helpful location details.
