a song.

✺ V O I C E S FROM THE P R E S S ✺✺✺
 SOUND OF MUSIC [SWEDEN]
The record “A Nest at the Junction of Paths” is definitely among the best discs of Scandinavian improvised music in the 2000s (Dare I say ever?). These are big words that needs to be motivated […] I shiver … the body is steps ahead of the brain, which is a warning signal valid enough. It’s no longer about record nerdiness or unexpected flirts. Had I heard this
at an emergency room with a dislocated knee or at a gas station in Kolbäck with grumpy kids on my lap, this music would still have given me chills. […] You should know that I have tried to bite myself in the shoulder to avoid to fertilize with adjectives, but it is simply not possible to hold back. This is absolutely first class.”
/Johan Redin
RADIO FRANCE [FRANCE]
“An eminently poetic music which cultivates mirror’s games, furtive shatters, sensual and light touch.”
/Anne Montaron
FESTIVAL MÉTÈO [FRANCE]
“They dare, caring nothing for categories, that’s what they do! To summarize, it’s extremely original, nondescript and immensely stimulating, to be followed.”
/Adrian Chiquet
JAZZRYTMIT [FINLAND]
“This band’s music is extremely artistic, sensitive and fragile.”
/Jouko Kirstilä
MONSIEUR DÉLIRE [CANADA]
“The New Songs succeed in making genuine avant-songs inspired by microsonic free improvisation. Ear candy to me.”
/François Couture
CHATTANOOG PULSE [USA]
“This debut album is a tranquil yet curious take on modern song forms,
putting a charming face on a radical gray area between composition and
improvisation.”
/Ernie Paik
