Gideon This 24 bit album has been superbly made and sounds amazing on my audio system. Highly recommended!! You can read a review in Prog Rock magazine issue number 131. Favorite track: Chun Li.

paliojen_black Beautiful! Exactly what I was hoping for.. Interesting compositions and incredible musicianship. As per usual, I'm really taken with the drumming. Favorite track: Ken.

scott shreky Wow just listened to the track Chun Li from the pre-order. It’ll be on repeat for the next hour or so. Great stuff can’t wait to hear the rest of the album!! It reminds me of Mahavishnu Orchestra meets The Mars Volta but totally your own sound!! Love it!! Wish you all the success in the world!! Will spread the word as much as I can!!

about

Soft Ffog started as one-off gig commissioned by Kongsberg Jazzfestival in 2016. Despite the success of this event, the band did not get the momentum it needed to be a proper working band. This combined with the busy schedules for the musicians in other bands and projects, the band only played gigs every now and then. These gigs did help refining their sound, so bandleader Tom Hasslan decided in 2020 that the time was right to record their first album with all Hasslan compositions.

The band consists of band leader Tom Hasslan (Krokofant) on guitars, Axel Skalstad (Krokofant) on drums, Trond Frønes (Red Kite, Grand General) on bass and Vegard Lien Bjerkan (WIZRD) on keyboards. The album was recorded at Studio Paradiso with Christian Engfelt as engineer and producer. The combined members of Soft Ffog have probably played with everyone in the Norwegian jazz scene, but here they do their own thing and they’re combining the sounds from King Crimson with Terje Rypdal, Deep Purple with Pat Metheny, and it sounds awesome!

Beware of blistering guitar solos, gnarly bass, crazy drums and supersonic keyboard playing!

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
