“Big, honest, open-hearted energy.” – Jason Lindner A new instrumental quartet from the Czech Republic organically combining electronic and popular music with contemporary jazz. Despite the fact that the compositions often have unplotted forms or odd meters, they still sound like songs with separate worlds, telling stories. The band is releasing their debut album Open to Closeness, featuring acclaimed keyboardist Jason Lindner. The album carries a strong non-musical theme: As a society, we've isolated ourselves in shells, be they cities, apartments, or cars, thinking that we've matured to our surroundings, that we've conquered them, that we can cut ourselves off from their influence, and that we're better off without them. But now we are coming to the point that eventually we have no choice but to come out of these shells again and find a new relationship with the environment, a new way to live in connection and intimacy with it. Important musical influences include musicians such as Justin Brown, James Francies, Jeremy Dutton, Mark Guiliana, Donny McCaslin or Charles Altura, but occasionally echoes of early jazz idols such as Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell as well. In the field of popular music, it's a varied mix ranging from David Bowie to Radiohead or Red Hot Chilli Peppers, to name a few.
