Two brothers - the Norwegian sax playing Lauritz Heitmann Skeidsvoll and his piano brother, Isach. Avant and free-flowing the format and style reminds me loosely of Marilyn Crispell's collaborations with Raymond MacDonald, Parallel Moments. There's plenty of tempestuousness here and a solid take no prisoners feel to the way Lauritz bombards his brother with a furious Paul Dunmall-like calvacade of sound. Not so keen when he picks up instead the punier melodica for the title track.
