humcrushI must say percussive. Everything. So punctual and precise and clear and crisp, but still with undertones of phat, flanging phases. The main percussive influence is obviously from Thomas Strønen, he plays with such conviction it makes us wonder if he ever had not played jazz drums. Additionally, on the other percussion instrument, the keyboards, Ståle Storløkken intermits Thomas' rambling prose with a whole range of sound sources and modulations. The day the two came together was an epoch for all as they gel so well, playing cheeky question and answer games and the odd musical competition too. Additional to the crazy, jazz hot blood fuelled fights, there are also a few slower more atmospheric compositions. These still have the percussive junctions but generally more of a steady groove. Sculptured soundscapes one could say. In my opinion another great success to roll straight off the Rune Grammofon new and interesting jazz conveyor. You should also really see a humcrush video i guess, or even better live. Sorry i didn`t post that one earlier, not because its bad, in fact, its great! -- stewart hill
