KOSMOS is the third full-length record for Luaka Bop from the uncategorizable Danish band of Jonathan Bremer (on acoustic bass) and Morten McCoy (on keys and tape delay). It is, as its name would suggest, a vibe: “We decided to call it Kosmos,” Morten said, “because for us, it's this feeling of being able to transcend time and space and just be, which is a very important thing for humans. Even though it's quiet music, it's music that you're able to just dream: have your own dreams, your own inner images.”These Danes have been making music that defies categorization since 2012. They started as a dub group, bringing their own sound system to shows. Now their sound hovers between jazz, ambient, and dub, with contemplative, propulsive melodies that capture the Nordic woods they play in. In 2024, they'll hit the road, touring Scandinavia, Germany, France, and other far corners of Northern Europe, before coming to play select shows in the U.S. in 2025. UPC: 680899010115
