about

**PLEASE NOTE: ORDERS MADE AFTER 15TH OCTOBER WILL BE SHIPPED OUT ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER DUE TO TOURING SCHEDULE**

In the Summer of 2023, we recorded our first studio album onboard a Lightship in the docklands of East London.

Sculpted through long form improvisations, this music reflects our personal transformations as well as the rapidly evolving world in which we live.

With its gradually unveiling intricacies and soundscapes rich in colour and depth, we sincerely hope this album can provide some moments of calm and joy.

"Some of the most exciting jazz currently lighting up the London scene, right here.
Moody, gliding, ranging improvisations, fronted by the closely-knit harmonies and melodies of woodwind duo Idris Rahman and Tamar Osbourne, and under-pinned by the propulsive, layered rhythms of Yusuf Ahmed’s drums and Jihad Darwish’s sitar and bass.
Very warmly recommended." - Honest Jons Records
