Their last collaboration with Tony Cox won the SAMA award
for Best Instrumental Album 2008. They have also collaborated with
cultural anarchist Koos Kombuis and internationally renowned poet Breyten
Breytenbach.
Black Southeaster is to be released through Jaunted Haunts,
a record label known for it’s fiercely independent musical repertoire. The
album reflects the band’s harder edge and also seems to have more of a
jazz influence if those who’ve heard it are to be believed. The recording
process was also a step up from previous albums. Produced by Dirk Hugo and
tracked at the new Sui Studios, the tracks have been quite heavily edited
and added to - something the band as improvisors have not done before.
