Any piece by one of the group’s members…will contain more ideas than many artists can muster for an entire project…The musicians’ exceptional technical skills are completely integrated into the fascinating twists and turns of the music, which echoes everything from Liszt to early Soft Machine via bebop while still being unique in its conviction and sheer depth of content.

Phronesis’s eighth album finds thematic focus in the interconnectedness of its title, and nature’s divine, unnecessary beauty... The unshakable sadness of a personal European blues is held in balance by energetic surges and melodic optimism. Beneath their sometimes cool sophistication, these are songs of experience.

This is the point where Phronesis moves confidently into a new musical space.
