For their fifth release in a ten-year period with the Hubro label, Norwegian supergroup Møster! follow up the acclaimed double vinyl album of 2018, ‘States of Mind’, with a thrilling distillation of the group’s trademark take-no-prisoners approach. Over six intensely-worked tracks-including an absolutely epic opening number, ’The Bonfire, The Sun’, that seems destined to become a band classic-the regular Møster! quartet plus legendary sound sculptor/mixer Jørgen Træen create a startling amalgam of collective improvisation and virtuoso soloing that’s overflowing with ideas and crackling with excess energy.
