This album's working method was inspired by the trio's Pitch Black project, in which they improvised in the dark as a tribute to bassist Jasper Hoiby's visually impaired sister. Their typical rhythmic overlays, motifs and ostinato patterns are still evident, but earlier connections to the folk-jazz of Avishai Cohen have receded somewhat and pieces alternate spiky rhythm games with episodes suggesting Chick Corea. Stuttery, single-note patterns come to dead stops, to be picked up by catchy bass hooks; sombre tone-poems unfold over snickety percussion; pianist Ivo Neame builds slow passages into Brad Mehldauesque soliloquies. The mix of the brittle and the songlike is sharper, and there's more extended jamming – and it's all formidably skilful.
