Description

“The Swedish trio Fire! – reeds player Mats Gustafsson, bass player Johan Berthling and drummer Andreas Werliin – never sound the same. Fire!’s insurmountable free jazz matched with powerful, hypnotic grooves still defines Defeat, the trio’s seventh album since 2009, but with some major differences. Somehow, the pessimistic title and the dark cover art by Kim Hiorthøy define faithfully our pressing times.” -Eyal Hareuveni, Free Jazz Blog
