After an outpouring of seven acclaimed albums over a decade, accompanied by rapturously received touring all over Europe and North America, it's been nearly four years since the Hedvig Mollestad Trio released their triumphal seventh album, “Ding Dong. You're Dead”. Mollestad's pent-up delight in reconnecting with cofounders Ellen Brekken (bass) and Ivar Loe Bjornstad (drums) pervades “Bees in the Bonnet”'s thirty-seven adventurous, invigorating, beautifully baffling yet accessible minutes as they continue to blur boundaries between progressive rock and jazz and heavy psychedelia with their signature telepathic chemistry, nuanced sonority and uplifting spirit. Enjoy "Golden Griffin" while waiting for a fabulous album!

Kneebody returns with Reach, their first studio album in six years, showcasing their singular musical vision with a reinvented lineup. Reach acts as both a rebirth for the genre-blurring quartet and a continuation of the concepts it has evolved over the past 24 years. It is also an opportunity for the band and its fans to reflect on the impact that Kneebody has had on the current musical landscape, where electric, eclectic improvised music fits comfortably on tastemaking playlists alongside indie rock, hip-hop and electronic music. Today, nearly a quarter-century after the band’s founding in Los Angeles, the members of Kneebody remain committed to the group and to each other — despite their involvement in numerous other projects and the challenges of sheer geography.
