IIII II

Lemurs album “IIIIIII” is a document from their debut tour: recorded in one session at Grieghallen Studio and presented in its original order. These seven tracks portrays an ensemble on the edge of defining a new sound and their musical identity.

Throught the tracks, the four musicians unite as one sound-generating body, manipulating their instruments into making sounds one would believe to be electronic. The result is a music defying old or new esthetics, but instead searching for the ultimate sound experience using these exact instrument in the hands of these particular musicians.

Although making a clear contrast to “the northern sound” of Norwegian jazz – “IIIIIII” brings beautiful soundscapes side by side with frantic phrasing and inspired solo playing.
