"Parminter is one of the most exciting new bands to emerge in recent months on the Barcelona scene, a scene that is both unsettling and full of discoveries. Adventurous, free, daring, provocative... Nana Rovira and Carlos Rodenas were part of Trialogue, a trio with which they won various awards and recognitions. It was the addition of keyboards that gave them their current sound with Nana as the figurehead.

Parminter's sound is close to early free jazz. A melodic and rhythmic free jazz without much stridency, with a taste for lively melodies that give way to instrumental virtuosity. The songs reach moments of great intensity. It is then that they give way to the most diverse influences and preferences of each of the band members.

The electric sound of the keyboard evokes passages of progressive jazz-rock, a contained noise with the distortion of Carlos Rodenas' bass pedals.

Of the songs included on the album, only 'Ininteligibilidad', written with Carlos Rodenas, breaks Nana's total authorship.

There are two dedications to two musicians. 'Mr. P.S.' refers to the initials of flutist Pablo Selnik and is based on an original idea of his, while 'Nonchalance' is a tribute to his friend and instrumental reference, American saxophonist Paul Stocker, a pioneer of jazz/free jazz in Spain, from the early 1970s.

'Ethiomess,' with its echoes of Ethiopian jazz could mark a different direction, but it does not, and the same is true of 'Hiperborea', a ballad inspired by South African jazz that gives the album its title.

The coherence of the sound is evident in their live performances, perhaps because everything is similar in its differences and the overall sound prevails, strongly marked by the bass clarinet-keyboard tandem.

The album is composed of original songs, although when they occasionally include a cover version in their live performances, it fits in with the group's sound. Thus, an Aylerian 'Ghosts', free and lively, is integrated without any problem."-Silkheart
