Did you ever feel the irresistible need to wander out into the dark streets of a warm city night and simply let the atmosphere overtake you? To keep walking underneath dimly lit street lamps that omit a warm, yellow tint of buzzing light? To explore previously unknown and hidden alleys in a place that you thought you knew so well? To ponder about endless possibilities that in the end all lead back to this very moment?
Well then, welcome to BLACK AIR – IMPENDING BLOOM.
Embrace the warm cloak of Jazz, Doom and Atmospheric Rock, that will surely guide you through this beckoning night.
IMPENDING BLOOM was recorded in a live studio setup in only three days. Just four people who share the same passion for music, getting together in a single room and creating the music they love.
