Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed Manchester piano trio continues to seamlessly map electronic dance music rhythms and structures onto acoustic jazz instrumentation. The project heavily relies on intricate, breakbeat-inspired drumming and soaring, highly melodic piano arpeggios that mimic the energetic swells of modern post-rock and IDM. It serves as a brilliantly accessible, highly kinetic evolution of their signature acoustic-electronic hybrid sound.
