You need vision to make a difference. It's here. Like a lullaby, a confessional, an outpouring, a ritual journeying to and from the primeval. Deeply emotional and quite moving in places yet never trite When We Leave is up there with trumpeter Mathias Eick's masterwork The Door. Because it's there in the long developed specific timbre, in the tone, in the headspace, in the sanctity of the wholeness of these unique jazz-tinged, sometimes homespun, Nordic reinventions of stillness and a space where the sound of the universe can penetrate an eternal darkness. There is group think throughout and a focus all part of why When We Leave is a significant achievement from Eick, Håkon Aase, Andreas Ulvo, Audun Erlien, Torstein Lofthus, Helge Andreas Norbakken and Stian Carstensen.
