Fresh from an appearance at Bray Jazz Festival, the five-piece continue to build momentum with a release that explores themes of growth, resilience and creative transformation. Built around a punchy bass line, prominent keyboard textures and Jamel's thoughtful vocal delivery, the track reflects on how pressure and lived experience can be transformed into strength through artistic expression.

Insufficient Funs - Chunk - Diatribe Records | 2026
Fun is often an overlooked idea in jazz and improvised music discourse, a wrong that Chunk seeks to right! The debut album from Irish duo Insufficient Funs is an affable yet gritty presentation of what an improvising ensemble can be. Make no mistake, this is not a fledgling release; it comes 10 years after the group’s formation and self-titled EP.
Dublin-based drummer Mathew Jacobson and Belgium-based Irish saxophonist Sam Comerford have been long-time collaborators, playing together in
groups such as Aerie and Umbra. Performing since 2016, with a repertoire consisting mostly of Jacobson’s compositions, Insufficient Funs are noted for their
energetic live shows and have attracted comparisons to acts as diverse as Ed Blackwell, Don Cherry, Eric Dolphy, Radiohead and Nirvana. The curious
combination of drums and the rare bass saxophone sets a spacious arena for the duo to explore.
