What does r/krautrock think of SML?

Y’all, I know this sub is pretty fixated on the classics, and for good reason… we’re by and large discussing a genre that is 50 years old now. The original wave of Krautrock was happening in tandem with the jazz fusion period in the states, and there was crossover there even at that time.

To speak of the intersection of Krautrock and Jazz… have have you heard SML? Good gracious they might be the most inspired, unshackled by tradition, improvisationally gifted and just ON FIRE group of musicians currently existing today. While they are very unconcerned with genre (in fact, I’m pretty sure they are actively trying to demolish the entire concept of a genre), there is a lot of strong krautrock energy here, energy that intersects with jazz, with post rock, with ambient music…

Curious what all of the purists think about modern day stuff like this that is clearly inspired by krautrock and shares the soul of it (I feel), maybe even goes beyond and furthers the musical ideas. One of the more remarkable things about SML is that this is completely improvised on the spot. There is no plan going in. These musicians are tapping into eachother in the most incredible way to build this music on the fly.
