‘Switch’ is the group’s debut CD and presents material drawn from recent visits into the recording studio. On each occasion, a 1 hour set was recorded entirely live and in its entirety. Each session used the same recording studio and engineer - no pre-planning, no rehearsals, no overdubbing or additional takes. Whilst the 6 tracks were recorded on separate occasions, they have been assembled as a programme of music and proposed as a continuing listening experience.
“Refreshingly free of cliché, proudly non-idiomatic and actually kind of fun. There’s a certain noir-ish feel to much of it: languid, bluesy electric guitar loops embellished with moody tenor huffs and strange, scraped percussion. Tim Rancelant’s spontaneous spoken commentary adds an extra layer of mystery – ambiguous phrases repeated enough to acquire odd significance and delivered in a tobacco-weary baritone, coming across like backstreet aphorisms from the mind of a racetrack mystic. Throw in some gloriously non-virtuoso free-jazz piano and kung-fu vocals, and you’ve got yourself a fine enigma.” - Daniel Spicer – Jazzwise Magazine
