Kroke: Seventh Trip

The seven album itch - what's valid for married life, isn't necessarily for music.
Kroke didn't get lost in the dark grounds of a midlife crisis, and their seventh album is more than an itch of desire.
The dynamic range of his recording hasn't been diminuished by data compression. This decision is more than a technical detail - it's reference to the basic understanding of Kroke's music: virtuosity and passion, pleasure and deep emotion. Therefore Kroke consider themselves as Klezmorim, although their music has developed from what is regarded as traditional Klezmer music. The direction of this movement is decisive, and this direction is forward. Avant-Garde.
Seventh Trip is an album that may not open up at first hearing. So play it twice, and play it loud.
