The duo released their third album in July 2023 and have always had integrity and curiosity as an overriding factor. They have recorded an atmospheric album with new music on acoustic, electric and electronic instruments, which has already touched, shaken, swung and rocked the audience and is in A-rotation on DR P8 Jazz. Everything was recorded and mixed in New York by Andy Green (Velvet Underground and John Cale).
They have played together for 25 years with everything and everyone and on all kinds of stages all over the world. Everything from number one hits on Dansktoppen to TV shows to improvised noise concerts in China. Together they have played with, among others, Kim Larsen, Nik & Jay, Povl Dissing, Sanne Salomonsen, Steffen Brandt, Band of Horses, Tim Christensen, Søs Fenger, Lis Sørensen, Lars H.U.G., Rugsted & Kreutzfeldt, Allan Olsen, Thomas Dybdahl, Søren Sko, Rasmus Lyberth, Trine Dyrholm, Finn Ziegler, Ryan Adams, Keld & Hilda, Wayne Horvitz, Rytteriet, S...
