The Switzerland-based quartet was founded in 2016 by Nina Reiter, Marc Mezgolits and Peter Primus Frosch out of a desire to break new musical ground. Following three albums that have been highly acclaimed by the international specialist press – 2018’s "/fɹeɪm/", 2020’s "Tides" and 2022’s "Hysteria" – and several line-up changes, the core trio is now joined by guitarist Mareille Merck. The four musicians see themselves as a true collective: each contributes their own compositions, which are then further developed together. The result is music that defies categorisation – rich in contrast, ever-changing and yet unmistakably rooted in the band’s sound.

With their new album "Sirens", the band embarks on another exciting chapter. The title draws on the mythological sirens of ancient Greece – powerful, fascinating creatures whose voices irresistibly captivated their listeners. In the compositions, this metaphor is reinterpreted: it alludes to feminist themes, raises questions about female self-determination and harnesses the power of music to seduce, unsettle and stir the listener in equal measure. The sound of "Sirens" is multi-layered: atmospheric improvisations, powerful interplay and delicate interludes weave together to form an expressive whole. Like the mythical sirens, who embody both danger and beauty, the pieces also revolve around ambivalent emotional worlds – sometimes menacing, sometimes comforting, yet always intense.

The result is a sophisticated soundscape that impresses not only through its virtuosity, but also through its thematic relevance: contemporary jazz that captivates, inspires and raises a clear voice in the present day. With "Sirens", the quartet continues its journey with unwavering commitment – and invites the audience to let themselves be swept away by this music.
