An even more amazing record than the previous outing from
Petter Eldh and his
Koma Saxo ensemble – a set that adds in a bit of vocals from
Sofia Jernberg, and really has the group pushing their sound to a whole new level! The music is jazz at the start, but is quickly concerned with all these other sonic possibilities – as
Eldh adds in samples and piano next to his own bass, in a lineup that mixes cello, violin, and a range of saxes with some nicely jagged drums – the last of which create rhythms that are unsettling, while the music itself is still tuneful – especially at moments when Kit Downes brings in some piano solos to the work. Titles include "Ostron Accordion", "Kippan Granit", "
Koma Rail", "Narhet", "Clos Eko", "Lo Ve Ko Ma", "Croydon
Koma", and "Flamman".
(Still sealed with hype sticker.)
