• Track Listing

Andy Sheppard: tenor and soprano saxophones

Eivind Aarset: guitar, electronics

Michel Benita: double bass

Sebastian Rochford: drums

Extending the range of his widely-praised Trio Libero project with Michel Benita and Seb Rochford, Andy Sheppard adds Eivind Aarset (who made significant contributions to 2008s Movements In Colour) to the band.

With Aarsets ambient drones and electronic textures as a backdrop, Sheppard and Co. Seem to have even more space to explore. The music embraced includes new compositions, open improvisations, an Elvis Costello tune, and the Gaelic traditional ballad Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir which appears in three variations, a thematic thread through the album.
