Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed Swedish improvisational trio recorded this uncompromising session entirely in analog, utilizing no overdubs or studio trickery. Driven by Mats Gustafsson's fiery, screeching saxophone playing and an unyielding acoustic rhythm section, the tracks build immense, terrifying tension through muscular, deeply repetitive vamps.
