Knee-Deep In the North Sea

ⒻⒸⓋ / 林建 This is a great album! I found it through the BBC Radio 4 show ‘Curious Under the Stars’, and I’m so glad I did!

freejazzy Charming and convincing combination of acoustic instruments. Ostinato elements from the hangs, dancing drums, structuring double bass and a singing and story telling sax - that's entertainment. Favorite track: Knee-Deep In the North Sea.

jthistl3 Cool, minimal and atmospheric. Great to listen to while working and also just for pure enjoyment :) Favorite track: Monsoon: Top to Bottom.

StrangeFlow a really well-planned jazz album with lots of nice steeldrums melodies and wonderful musical themes - and played really tight and dynamic, love this! Favorite track: Knee-Deep In the North Sea.

Very rarely do I loose myself in music as much as I do whilst listening to Mammal Hands. Shadow Work keeps that numbness inducing formula going, it's a mandatory listen. p01n7

Seems like Gondwana Records is the spot for awesome jazz bands - really beautiful played and sweet harmonies and melodies. Floating and rich rhythms. Really diggin' it! Think anything reminds me of Dave Brubeck 'Take 5' StrangeFlow
