Fun fact: The song lyrics by Thøger Larsen (b. 1875) are written in, and a description of, the landscape and the summer nights in the exact area I grew up in. And yes, the choice of season for our release date Oct 13th is … stretching it for a summer song, I know. However, the entire album is as much about the DREAM of those songs, the idea of the songs, the memory of the songs. And about opening up the well known versions, to access existential dimensions to the material, beyond or beneath the regular approaches. More on this in the album liner notes by the one and only Kresten Osgood.
Available on all digital platforms. Video of entire take can be found here.
Next single out November 24th, 2023

Third album from the multigenerational trio, first one from a studio recording.

“Even at its most intense, the performance retains its lyricism” – wrote The Wire Magazine about the 2020 album Ecstatic Embrace.

The new album is, according to PassiveAggressive.dk, micro-dosing from the inner cacophony of possible sounds…: “Med en kliché og en meget tekstnær tolkning af pladens tema, som det angives af titlerne, kunne man også kalde “Nocturnal” en feberdrøm eller morfindøs, men det, der er på spil her, er snarere en art natlig klarhed. Det minder om den måde, ens sind ved nattetid kan åbne sig fuldstændig overfor andre indtryk. Det er som at stå i en skov af musik og ikke være bange for ikke at kunne finde hjem, for man har ikke brug for hjem lige nu. … voldsomt interessant at lytte til.”

Out on vinyl and digital on all platforms – including ILKmusic.com.

The photo session and the PR work for our upcoming NOCTURNAL album was made possible with support from Koda’s Cultural Funds (KODA KULTUR). Thank you!

Zeuthen – Anderskov – Vestergaard will release our third album, “Nocturnal”, after the internationally acclaimed live albums “Out of the Spectacle” and “Ecstatic Embrace”. This time, for the first time, it will be a studio album, recorded with perfect sound at The Village in Vanløse. First single will come out later this week.

Behold, the cover for the upcoming EMERALD album, out 10 days from now. Design by Mike Højgaard.
I dig how Mike was able to capture the music’s thematics around colours, symmetries (inner molecular symmetry within the materials, as well as outer symmetry in their arrangement), light, shadow, transparent stones, etc., into this 3D graphic design.
The observant observer (singular? plural?) might have noticed the similarity to the cover of the Gemstone Series sheet music book that came out very recently; All compositions on the album are also found in the book.
