The first single, the 10-minute ambient and freeform "Hanoi 6", was released on 25 September 2018.[1] The album will be promoted by a series of shows across Europe and the UK,[4] as well as Asia and several in Mexico.[5]

Music

The album has been described as a "sonic distillation of the band's influences in Jazz, Krautrock and the avant garde",[1] as well as experimental jazz.[1] It was influenced by the works of Miles Davis.[1]
