v2.0

"You can almost hear them trying to resist the word jazz. They stretch their textures beyond the confines of their trio, moving into dance-based electronic and post-rock soundscapes ... While the title V2.0 suggests a flick of the reset button from the sprawling influences of their lauded debut, the album actually sounds like a refinement of their styles into relaxed, stately arrangements. It gently resists the stereotypes of an improvisation-based piano trio, while accepting the pleasures of exploring its familiar contours. The most obvious subversion of expected form is in the rhythm section. Almost all of this music is driven by a skittering, nervous break beat; more usually suited to electronics than sweeping piano licks ... For all its dabbling into mixing electronics with organics, it's a gorgeous record by virtue of what it preserves from traditional jazz trios, rather than what it casts off".
