When Norwegian baritone saxophonist Kjetil Møster (already collaborator of JÜ) joined forces in the studio with Swedish baritone sax burner Mats Gustafson (already present on RareNoise with the Cuts series of releases and Pole Axe by Slobber Pup), Norwegian noise-jazz guitarist Anders Hana (MoHa!, Ultralyd, Noxagt), versatile, powerhouse drummer Greg Saunier (of the San Francisco-based avant-rock band Deerhoof, who participated in the album, but has now been replaced by Børge Fjordheim of Cloroform) and the extraordinary Ethiopian-born experimental singer Sofia Jernberg, the resulting sonic maelstrom was so fresh and ferocious, so daring and audacious, so darkly apocalyptic that The End seemed like the only name for this band of rebels.
Their uncompromising debut on RareNoise, Svårmod Och Vemod Är Värdesinnen (a title whose approximate translation from Swedish into English could be stated as “Dark melancholy and sadness are senses to be valued”), is delivered with sledgehammer authority by the subversive crew.
The onslaught continues now with two releases recorded during the same session in the Fall of 2019: Nedresa, available as 10″ Vinyl and DL, and Allt Är Intet, available as Vinyl, CD, DL from mid November 2020.
