"Emerging from the vibrant atmosphere of a Parisian summer during the 2024 Olympics, this eclectic ensemble came together spontaneously after a serendipitous home jam session on August 15. Featuring the diverse talents of Liza Parshina, Nikita Chepurnoy, Alisa Gvozdeva, and Anton Glebov, their debut album is a captivating blend of free jazz, folk traditions, and dub influences. With an array of instruments from various cultures, their sound is both intricate and improvisational, reflecting their commitment to artistic autonomy. The recording not only showcases their musical synergy but also captures the essence of their conversations and reflections on life, offering a collection of tracks that are simultaneously lighthearted and thought-provoking, philosophical yet infused with humor. Dive into this unique sonic journey that celebrates the magic of music and the spirit of community."
A few words from nikita (minereed) about the process of recording: "Remember one moment that got me tripping while I wasn't high or something I was standing in the middle of the room with meinl crash-ride on my head and feeling the real strong vibration ( the track called am la ) the best way to deal with it was to sing, that what I did".
