Forward

Norwegian superquartet Reflections in Cosmo -who first appeared at Moldejazz in 2014 - where born when Thomas Strønen and Ståle Storløkken from Humcrush found out they would try something new. After years of free improvisation, the desire came to play in a more structured expression. Nothing is better than joining Kjetil Møster, the genre acrobat - from Datarock, and Snah from Motorpsycho. The music draws lines from psychedelia and the 70's progrock to newer forms of impromusic with today's technology, the quartet appears as a collective machinery, rather than a companion of soloists. Raw music from four of the leading musicians in the country.

REFLECTIONS IN COSMO II

As an album “Reflections in Cosmo” represents a thoroughly engaging and often highly exciting listen although I concede that the group’s blending of jazz, rock and improvisation probably won’t appeal to everybody’s ears. Fans of label mates Led Bib and WorldService Project will doubtless get a lot out of it and the album is likely to appeal to adventurous listeners from both the jazz and rock camps.

"Reflections in Cosmo" is a frisky jaunt, armed with a polyrhythmic foundation and Moster's reverberating tenor sax phrasings. Other movements bask in streaming EFX and flourishing themes, often structured with an irrefutable sense of urgency or when Strønen is pounding out a simple rock pulse as a forum for Ryan's gritty guitar heroics. Ultimately, the artists accomplish quite a bit in a relatively short timeframe. It's an invigorating mind trip from start-to-finish, centered on a highly entertaining form-factor!
