LITTERJUG - LITTERJUG (February 22, 2022 Gotta Let It Out)

Bloodstock themes, cascading drum fills, pumping bass lines, and flamethrower saxophone cries - LITTERJUG is a rollercoaster ride of joyful anarchy.

LITTERJUG is a Copenhagen-based contemporary trash jazz trio featuring three original improvisers from Poland, Lithuania, and Denmark.

The band's explorations are heavily rock-inspired, with a dose of abrasive free flow improvisations. The trio offers contrast-filled, action-packed music, sometimes rocking a simple groove, and other times boldly wandering into abstract territories.

Kristian Tangvik - The Cod and the Cat (September 20, 2021 Gotta Let It Out)

After his oneiric, Casio-centric 'Nullpluss' that Kristian Tangvik released two years ago, the time has come for his next move. In Kristian's own words:

"The Cod and the Cat has developed over the course of two years. It came to me in a dream. Some compositions arrived while traveling, others in a complete standstill. And so I have gathered a fresh combination of exceptional performers from the rich and exciting underground of Copenhagen's music scene, and it is because of their creativity and massive musicianship that this dream of mine could be realized in its precious form. Fusing cute naivety with strange complexity, yet staying true and honest to my own aesthetics, I have made an album to confuse, inspire, and comfort the listener. Touching upon grave topics as depression, addiction, and general malaise, there had to be a strong and playful side to the album, a Cat to the Cod so to speak.

This is genre-fluid music with a lot of space for improvisation. Contrasting expressions – surprising turns and twists – like a semi-lucid dream – where you wake up in the middle of the night to take a bewildered piss. This album is the truest expression of my search as of yet. I hope (and think) you will find something of value if you lend it an ear."

WOOD ORGANIZATION - Drimpro (September 2021 Gotta Let It Out)

WOOD ORGANIZATION is an open constellation led by a Copenhagen-based duo of Szymon Pimpon Gasiorek and Tomo Jacobson - both players coming out of Copenhagen's vibrant improv and creative music scene. Initially devoted to improvisation drawing from the sounds of nature, the group has recently headed into a new direction which they themselves call drimpro (dream + improv). Their new music is a unique combination of repetitive acoustic grooves and abstract electronics sculpted in a free manner.

It is an eclectic amalgam of the duo's various influences ranging from free jazz to pop to ethnic to disco to reggae, that features both players as a rhythm section, soloists, and singers (on #7 & #9) alike.

In 2017 the group released their first well-received album on cassettes, featuring a three times Danish Grammy recipient Lars Greve on reeds, Freya Schack-Arnott on cello, and Franciszek Pospieszalski on second double bass.
