Gilles Peterson: “Yes!”
Lefto: “Beautiful. This is the level!”
Anne Yven (Jazznytt Magazine): ”Each of their albums is a playground, where each track has a thousand facets whose potential grows every time you listen.”
Truth and Lies: “Incredible album that smashes the jazz piano group format to pieces.”
Two and a half years after their acclaimed last release ‘Less Is Endless’, De Beren Gieren (“The Bear Vultures”) have finished their seventh full album. What Eludes Us is an ode to what escapes us and what we consciously want to look away from.
For this new full album, the band left aside the unimaginable beauty of the Norwegian fjords and crawled into a dusty recording studio in Bergen harbour. They did so with the celebrated and mysterious producer Jørgen Træen (a.o. Jaga Jazzist), who silently watched over the imperfections and interference as a guiding force behind the adept playing of the electro-acoustic jazz trio.
The result turns out to be compelling music with deceptive rhythms, clear melodies and uninhibited electronics in a way that also managed to surprise them themselves. With De Beren Gieren, it is clear that there is still gold to be struck from the classic jazz piano format. Instead of changing direction, the band resolutely chooses to dig deeper.
What Eludes Us will be released this Friday via Sdban Ultra.
