Some reviews of ARCHER´s latest album "Sudden Dusk" on Aerophonic Records

----------

“While this music is deeply concerned with process, the outcomes of the musicians white-knuckled interactions are deeply satisfying” (DownBeat/Bill Meyer) (4 out of 5 stars)

"With Sudden Dusk, Archer does not just balance aggression and serenity, it forges a sound that thrives in the tension between the two" (All About Jazz/Mark Corroto) (4 out of 5 stars)

"Ex sin helt spesielle sound er ofte et spennende utgangspunkt for utfluktene. Rempis´arsenal av saksofoner byr også på stor variasjon og Strøm og Østvangs store ører og flotte evner til fargelegging, sørger for at “Sudden Dusk” har blitt et heftig frijazzalbum med meget solid kvalitet og spennvidde" (Tor Hammerø)
