According to the press release, Described as “not really jazz, not really new age, not really ambient or electronica”, instead they welcome you into a synaesthesia-inducing technicolour fantasy, full of wondrous, emotive beauty.
This genesis began with the sharing of music, burgeoning friendships, and the mutually-inspirational benefit of a group dynamic, with each spurring the next on to heighten their already formidable skills. Intertwining the acoustic, electric and digital, utilising instruments and tools from across the decades, their synthesized Shangri La is a place where craftsmanship meets musicianship, even including sections notated on sheet music. The mood whilst recording, however, was one of loose freedom and enjoyment, with parts displaying a light-hearted playfulness.
