about

This EP presents a marked blossoming from Olsen's 2017 debut album, Joyfire (Shifting Paradigm Records). Present here are pieces of more compositional heft, a rhythmically attuned band firing off improvisations at full tilt, and poignant moments befitting an emotionally mature ensemble. Kinghorn lends a stellar vocal to the last track.
