After successful collaborations with prestigious guests like Jim O'Rourke and Oren Ambarchi and the widely acclaimed FIRE! ORCHESTRA release earlier this year our Swedish friends are back as a trio, lighting up a sonic blaze of rock based riffs and hypnotic jazz-psychedelia.

As far from noodling instrumentals as it's possible to get, the tracks are spontaneously combusting rituals with a clear sense of purpose.

Each of the three members is gifted with a formidable technique and arsenal of tricks and effects on their respective instruments, and the album also sees acclaimed saxophonist Mats Gustafsson boosting his already versatile skills, by swapping to Fender Rhodes and electronics on selected tracks.

The oddly cut-up titles are lifted and inspired by Smog founder Bill Callahan's letters to Emma Bowlcut, recently published in a volume by Chicago label Drag City.

The strategy gives an insight into the broadminded frame of reference of this eclectic trio.

With all three members pulling in elements from free jazz, ambient improvisation and electronic music, their music has reached a new confidence and intensity.
