Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sprawling Norwegian collective delivered a vibrant, kaleidoscopic fusion of progressive rock and contemporary jazz instrumentation. Influenced heavily by classic Afrobeat and post-rock dynamics, the record navigates dizzying time signatures while retaining a highly infectious, melodic core. It stands as a brilliant showcase of dense, large-ensemble compositional wizardry within modern instrumental music.
