Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third and final album by the Munich-based collective is a sprawling double-LP that pushes their jazz-infused krautrock into deeply extended improvisational territories. Heavily featuring Moran Neum眉ller's fluid flute and saxophone work alongside complex, shifting guitar jams, the record prioritizes groove and technical interplay over structured songwriting. The massive, multi-part suite 'Huchen 55' dominates the runtime and serves as their definitive instrumental opus.
