"There is something profoundly enriching about Danish double bassist Kenneth Dahl Knudsen's new orchestral jazz release. Full of vibrant jazz episodes as well as restrained, emotional tension, this is original, often filmic music which indubitably wears its heart on its sleeve ... With its ethos of providing a platform for artists to release brave, unrestricted new music, Alya Marquardt's Two Rivers Records is proving itself in these early stages to be a consistent source of surprises. This album is a particularly rewarding one".
