Our Take

Album: RYMDEN - Valleys & Mountains

Even if you think jazz is just elevator music for fancy people, RYMDEN's latest album Valleys & Mountains will have you grooving in your velvet smoking jacket faster than you can say "smooth saxophone solo". This trio of Scandinavian jazz royalty - Bugge Wesseltoft, Magnus Öström, and Dan Berglund - have taken their cosmic soundscapes to new heights on this record, combining intricate melodies with pulsating rhythms that will transport you to another dimension faster than you can say "space odyssey".

From the ethereal opener "The Odyssey" to the funky closer "Orbits", Valleys & Mountains is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you feeling like you're floating amongst the stars one minute, and then getting down on the dance floor the next. Wesseltoft's virtuosic piano playing anchors the album with a sense of elegance and sophistication, while Öström's relentless drumming keeps the energy levels high throughout.

But what really sets RYMDEN apart from other jazz acts is their willingness to push boundaries and take risks. Tracks like "The Celestial Dog and the Funeral Ship" and "Northern Arc" blend traditional jazz elements with futuristic electronic beats, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. So, grab a glass of your finest champagne, put on your headphones, and prepare to be transported to a realm where the valleys are deep, and the mountains are soaring. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Rymden

If you were to take the cosmic, otherworldly sounds of space and distill them into musical form, you’d get something pretty close to RYMDEN. This Scandinavian supergroup, comprised of piano virtuoso Bugge Wesseltoft, drummer Magnus Öström, and bassist Dan Berglund, have taken the jazz world by storm with their unique fusion of electronic beats, improvisational melodies, and avant-garde sensibilities. Wesseltoft, known for his genre-defying approach to the piano, brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to RYMDEN’s sound. His delicate touch on the keys is like a gentle cosmic breeze, guiding listeners through the vast expanse of the unknown. Öström, with his powerhouse drumming and infectious energy, injects a sense of urgency and movement into each composition, propelling the music forward like a rocket hurtling through space. And Berglund, with his deep, pulsating bass lines, anchors the group’s sound in a solid foundation, providing a sense of grounding amidst the ethereal beauty of their music. Together, RYMDEN create a sonic landscape that is both familiar and alien, drawing listeners in with their captivating melodies and innovative approach to genre. Their music is at once introspective and expansive, inviting listeners to explore the outer reaches of their imagination while grooving to the infectious beats. With their debut album, Reflections & Odysseys, RYMDEN have solidified their status as one of the most exciting and innovative groups in contemporary jazz. So strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to embark on a musical journey that is truly out of this world.
