180g blue vinyl! Follow up to their formidable self - titled debut from 2013, Mumpbeak again conjure up memories of vintage King Crimson, ELP, Gentle Giant and other prog rock pioneers. Led by the innovative keyboardist - composer and Oslo based UK expatriate Roy Powell and featuring bassist and longtime collaborator Lorenzo Feliciati (Powell's bandmate in Naked Truth) this new edition of the prog - rock - jazz power trio showcases the remarkable Norwegian drummer Torstein Lofthus, who is also a member of the avant garde group Shining and the psychedelic trio Elephant 9. Together this likeminded triumvirate travels from slamming, intricately executed vehicles like "Boot," "Cot" and "Brick" to more atmospheric soundscapes like "Slip" and "Caboose" to the explosive free jazz jam on "Stone."
