Cachopou - Stakes Are High (August 2021)

Cachopou’s third and definitive studio album “Stakes Are High” delivers an inflexion in the band’s sound, thrusting a powerful new mix of fresh organic electronica and post-jazz routines featuring lots of randomness and freedom.

"I listened to "Stakes Are High" and it's lovely. The idea of expressing emotion using synthetic music is such a basic one but still so few people do it well - Cachopou does it well.  For me it is just the right balance of chaos and order.” - ISAN (morr music)
