First performed live in an octagonal wooden church as part of the 2022 Sildajazz (the Haugesund International Jazz Festival), these six atmospheric compositions centre church organs, synths, samples and abstract choral vocals – winding through ambient minimalism, kosmische improvisation and experimental psych-jazz. It intricately weaves together live recordings from the church and improvised jams laid down at Bergen's Duper Studio, often oscillating between the two in the course of a single track – as is the case on the expansive 15-minute epic 'Mycelium'.
As the band write, 'Dyp Tid' (Norwegian for 'Deep Time') is both a meditative journey and an exploration of what it means to exist in a universe where time stretches far beyond humanity’s grasp, fusing natural organic sounds and synthetic electronic music: “We have always been drawn to the cinematic, to the sense that something feels larger than life, and in Dyp Tid we wove these elements together into something both deeply personal and utterly elusive. In an age where everything seems algorithmic and predictable, we aimed to create something that refused to be boxed in – something that lives and breathes by its own rules."
The yellow/sand swirl version of 'Dyp Tid' is limited to 350 hand-numbered copies and exclusive to the Fuzz Club UK/EU store and Membership.
