The Boxhead Ensemble returns with their fourth proper studio album (fifth in sum) since the inception of the DUTCH HARBOR project in 1996.

The collective's leader Michael Krassner (guitar/organ/fx) joins forces with Fred Lonberg-Holm (VANDERMARK 5, TERMINAL 4, VALENTINE TRIO) on cello/harmonica, Frank Rosaly (drums) & Jacob Kolar (prepared piano), generating a meditative aura unlike any other.

NOCTURNES is a like-minded & totally luminous followup to their TWO BROTHERS (alp126cd) and QUARTETS (alp136cd) recordings.

What began in as an ad-hoc experimental coalition assembled to create a lost Alaskan film soundtrack has grown into a haunting sonic netherworld- perfectly suited to long drives, private moments, and unexamined spaces.

Boxhead Ensemble: a timeless, self-propelled Flying Dutchman, adrift in a endless hazy sky, quietly generating their clandestine enamations.
