Skerik, John Medeski, and Adam Deitch are DRKWAV

Saxophonist/arranger Skerik is one of those musicians who always seems to be up to something interesting.

The same could also be said of the consistently flabbergasting pianist/organist John Medeski and drummer Adam Deitch.

If any of them announces a project, one should take note, so news of a team-up for the three of them is triply as noteworthy.

The trio have joined up as the group DRKWAV and are set to release their very trippy, psychedelic album The Purge on February 24.

It’s a release that looks to journey toward dark corners and throw a party.

Check out the first single, “Darkwave”, after the jump.

DRKWAV’s The Purge is set to release in limited edition, multi-color vinyl, double-LP set, on CD, and digitally on the Royal Potato Family Label.

Look for it on February 24th and look for these guys on the road throughout the late winter/early spring.
