The lineup of any ensemble has an alchemical quality to it. The right
combination of personalities and styles can yield nothing less than gold. But
throw in one bad element and it quickly can turn leaden.

That was the risk drummer Christian Lillinger and bassist Petter Eldh took when
they started working with pianist Kaja Draksler in a new trio. The pair already
were familiar with one another, having provided the backbone for the marvelous
free-jazz quartet Amok Amor. Draksler was the X-factor they brought into their
creative partnership, a new source of heat that could bend their playing into
new shapes. The resulting work is as invitingly, thrillingly jumbled and
postmodern as their album’s title. The connection that Lillinger and Eldh have
built up over the past decade is still clear and strong, but Draksler flows and
spills around it like a steady stream of water, slickening up a craggy rock. [...]
