It’s with great pleasure that we welcome MM Works to the AQRR-roster. In the group’s debut on the label, we’re given a first glance in to the vast catalogue of the reclusive duo. The guitar-drum dyad represents a mysterious and challenging, but ever so intense and rousing sound. From subtle fragility to intensified pulsing, the group roams in a delicate balance of structure and freeplay, avant-garde and modern composition. The music often follow two inseparable paths: a repetitive element, and a seemingly loose improvisation on top. The focus point is left open, but it doesn't take long before realizing a constant cohesion throughout the elements of both structure, interplay and sonic palette. The repetitive is seldom symmetric, and the asymmetry seems well guarded by a free flowing synergy. Archives is compiled of recordings made at The Royal Danish Academy of Music from 2016 through 2020. Taken out of it’s various original contexts, these 9 tracks represents a quieter side of the group. Though it’s liberatingly difficult to classify the genre of the group, moving on the verge of progressive jazz, avantgarde and even post-rock, there’s always a cinematic openness and airy quality to the recordings. Shiftingly unafraid of silence and letting loose, no matter what, you’re in for weird and dreamy experience. Buying the album, you also get the 'As In A Dream'-suite in its entirety (two bonus tracks), as well as a hi-res photoscan of the original signed artwork by artist Rene Steen Sørensen. Rene also made the artwork for AQRR-affiliate, Hviledag, and his album “Over Mellem Under”, and it’s with great honor that Rene has said yes to work on this one as well.
