Quirky in a masterful display of instrumental skill from the Swedish duo of soprano saxophonist Martin Küchen and trombonist Ola Rubin (Swedish Fix, Lazy Rude Monk), using every inch of their instruments along with mutes, percussion and percussive emanations, creating a virtual menagerie of animalistic sounds alongside dexterous lines.

"bBb makes everyday music for distracted times. Influences from near and afar blow in and over - and out again. Most of it pulls through the narrow neck of the sopranino sax and the emerging sounding facets of the trombone vault, but also almost archaeologically colored sound-bearing artefacts are displayed and dissected in real time.
A crack and a bang - and then jazz like a glowing blanket thrown over everything. Ola Rubin and Martin Kuchen make music for our leaking Now - both trying closing the gaps and intensively listening to the hard metaphysical rain that the present is flooded with .... Original acoustics."-bBb
