Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third album from the Swedish electronic jazz duo of Oscar Simonsson and Magnus Zingmark. Built entirely on thousands of small samples from jazz records, the album seamlessly blends these elements into warm, organic-sounding compositions. Featuring a host of guest vocalists, including Yukimi Nagano on the standout track 'Koop Island Blues', the record was praised for its fusion of swing-era nostalgia with modern downtempo production, earning the group a Swedish Grammy Award.
