This Is Not A Miracle by FOOD

Released: 06.11.2015
ECM Records (ECM 2417)

Thomas Strønen -  drums, electronics, percussion, Moog, Fender Rhodes
Iain Ballamy - saxophones, electronics
Christian Fennesz - guitar, electronics

The British/Norwegian Food duo of Iain Ballamy and Thomas Strønen are joined again by Austrian guitarist and electronics player Christian Fennesz for a new album of powerful grooves, evocative textures and exploratory improvisation, sometimes hypnotically insistent, sometimes turbulent. The project was recorded with engineer Ulf Holand and mixed together with Manfred Eicher – the first time Eicher and Holand have collaborated since Nils Petter Molvaer’s Khmer, almost 20 years ago. Thomas Strønen describes the sound of This Is Not A Miracle as “heavier, dryer, connecting more with how we actually sound live.”

...the emotional depth of the saxophonist’s playing — with his debt to John Coltrane on full display — is the set’s most defining aspect.
