Album Notes & Community Reviews
Relocating to Los Angeles for the recording process, the Norwegian avant-jazz ensemble crafted their most intensely electronic, synth-heavy album to date. The dizzying, sprawling instrumental pieces masterfully blend cosmic disco grooves, complex progressive rock time signatures, and soaring horn sections. It stands as a vibrant, incredibly detailed masterclass in large-scale modern jazz fusion.
