Fire! - Without Noticing (Rune Grammofon 2013)

The brand new Fire! album titled "(Without Noticing)" is now available from our site as CD and first edition LP with CD of the whole album.

We also have a few limited white vinyl LPs left.
Maja Ratkjes classic "Voice" album from 2002 is now available on vinyl for the first time, the first edition of 500 comes with a CD of the whole album. The vinyl edition of Arve Henriksens new album is unfortunately a bit delayed, but we still have good hope to reach the release date 6th. September.


After successful collaborations with prestigious guests like Jim O´Rourke and Oren Ambarchi and the widely acclaimed Fire! Orchestra release earlier this year our Swedish friends are back as a trio, lighting up a sonic blaze of rock based riffs and hypnotic jazz-psychedelia. As far from noodling instrumentals as it’s possible to get, the tracks are spontaneously combusting rituals with a clear sense of purpose. Each of the three members is gifted with a formidable technique and arsenal of tricks and effects on their respective instruments, and the album also sees acclaimed saxophonist Mats Gustafsson boosting his already versatile skills, by swapping to Fender Rhodes and electronics on selected tracks. The oddly cut-up titles are lifted and inspired by Smog founder Bill Callahan’s letters to Emma Bowlcut, recently published in a volume by Chicago label Drag City. The strategy gives an insight into the broadminded frame of reference of this eclectic trio. With all three members pulling in elements from free jazz, ambient improvisation and electronic music, their music has reached a new confidence and intensity.
Also available on vinyl and ltd ed white vinyl.
Released: 16.08.13
