Debut release from award-winning Danish vibraphonist Viktoria Søndergaard.  With wide ranging influences from jazz, chamber music, cabaret, pop, rap and Sukuma-inspired grooves, as well as the hymns and melodies of the Danish Højskolesangbog traditional/folk songbook, the music is  grounded in collective expression and responsibility.

The album's bold, boundary-pushing sound was built on a strong sense of musical community, as well as Søndergaard's desire to integrate spoken word and lyrics into her practice to convey her thoughts and feelings on the world around her on a deeper, more personal level. Composing with her four collaborators in mind, Viktoria imagined her quintet playing each note as she composed, making the music inseparable from their presence.
