Description
Paal Nilssen-Love Circus ́s second album sees the band in a total clash with the three guitars of Dutch band The Ex. What a treat this is!
The band ́s debut album, “Pairs of Three” received outstanding reviews for their mix of rhythms and melodies from Northeast part of Brazil, original compositions that juxtaposed jazz and free improvisation.
After several live concerts with pre-arranged sets, Nilssen-Love wanted to shake up the concert form. The rule is simple: anyone can play any part of any song at any time. As free as possible but with written material. The music moves all over the place, and the musicians never have a grasp of what awaits around the next corner. The guitarists of The Ex fit perfectly into this mix, and it really becomes a clash of sounds, melodies and rhythms which takes the listener on an exciting and unexpected journey. Some old songs, some new and another melody from Nazare da Mata. Not to forget a cover version of The Stretchheads “I should be so Lucky” which might just be their interpretation of Kylie Minogue’s song with the same title. Also, be sure to crank up the volume on the band ́s new mosh pit dance piece, “Calls: Let They Free!”
The day before this live concert, the band also recorded in a studio, and was followed up by another session in a studio in Oslo in June. This will be released on vinyl and CD some time in the fall of 2025. In the meantime, enjoy this live recording from Bimhuis in Amsterdam, February 2024.
