We tell stories that, at best, bring a little lightness to the endlessly repeating start of the week. For us, songwriting is like a familiar dive — we let ourselves drift between alt-pop and neo-soul, feel completely in our element at the maximum depth of the dive, swim there briefly through the metro-urban melancholy, before finally surfacing into Monday-Pop.

Anyone expecting pop-piano chords will be surprised by layered trumpet lines, groovy pop guitar lines, and minimal synth sounds. The space this creates is filled by soulful vocals and whispered trumpet lines. That can happen with a trumpeter as bandleader who keeps reinventing himself.

The debut album “Crossroads” is the soundtrack for anyone chasing the wrong things in life – or thinking about it.
