"Some listeners might be disappointed by a relative dearth of singable melody but the band’s sheer energy and conviction, not to mention their incontrovertible hipness, should go a long way to winning them over."
Available Format: CD
"A love letter both to fado and to jazz, and the boundless possibilities that come from marrying the two, Saudade, Colour of Love represents a stunning achievement."
Available Formats: CD, MP3, FLAC, Hi-Res FLAC
"Mollestad’s great gift is to use music to give voice to those who have had their own taken from them. With this large scale ensemble piece, Mollestad takes a fresh turn in her composing journey by foregrounding vocals. Solberg and Bjornstad’s voices evoke mothers, children and humanity in their most vulnerable yet celebratory incarnations."

"It feels perfectly crafted, as if two artists had covered a canvas together to produce one immaculate painting. As Riley diffidently observes in the liner notes, “It worked, that’s all I can say” – and, indeed, that’s all that needs saying."
