Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fourth album by the celebrated Australian trio deviates from their typical single-track format, instead presenting a hypnotic exploration of extended jazz improvisation. Merging repetitive, minimalist piano motifs with subtle, shifting rhythmic undercurrents, the record envelops the listener in an immersive, almost oceanic trance state.
