Our Take

Sitting in a hipster cafe with a soy latte in hand, I dove headfirst into the latest collaboration between Swedish vocalist Josefine Cronholm, American cornetist Kirk Knuffke, and Danish drummer Thommy Andersson. Titled "Near The Pond," this album is like a breath of fresh air in a stagnant pond.

Cronholm's ethereal vocals float effortlessly over Knuffke's soulful horn lines, creating a dreamy atmosphere that transports you to a mystical pond in the middle of a forest. Andersson's dynamic drumming adds the perfect rhythmic pulse, anchoring the trio's improvisational flights of fancy.

Tracks like "Reflections" and "Water Lilies" showcase the trio's uncanny ability to create mesmerizing soundscapes that blur the lines between jazz, folk, and ambient music. The album feels like a sonic journey through nature, with each note and lyric painting a vivid picture of lush greenery and shimmering water.

While "Near The Pond" may not be everyone's cup of tea, those willing to take a dip into its tranquil waters will be rewarded with a truly immersive listening experience. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported to a tranquil pond where music and nature intertwine in perfect harmony. Trust me, you won't want to come back to the hustle and bustle of city life after this enchanting musical escapade.
