An incisive album colored with original compositions and nourished by the energy of live shows… jazz in trompe-l’œil.
Lyrical adventurous solos, diabolic collective improvisations, themes that flirt with the blues, pop-rock instrumentals, free funk, calypso…
In fact, Strange Traffic breaks up moods and regenerates them into emotion in a succession of playful and tasty audio experiences. Sometimes the songs might make you think of Sonic Youth or Radiohead while other times King Crimson, Dave Holland or Dave Douglas come to mind.
