Fire! is a Swedish trio comprising Mats Gustafsson (The Thing), Johan Berthling (Tape) and Andreas Werliin (Wildbirds & Peacedrums) that came together with the idea of a fresh approach to improvised music, with a number of influences from free jazz, psychedelic rock and noise.

She Sleeps, She Sleeps is the trio's fifth album and displays an intriguing cocktail of dark and brooding, hypnotic slowcore jazz.

After having provided live music for the long running play Det Flygande Barnet at Orionteatern in Stockholm in February and March 2015, they were strongly inspired to return to the theater's amazing, large industrial hall and set up the necessary studio equipment.

As Mats explains: "After two years of extreme activities with the Fire! Orchestra we felt an urge to record in a studio setting and to strip everything down; fewer instruments, acoustic instruments, down to the roots of it all - raw, beautiful.

And with two amazing guests adding layers of poetic beauty: Oren Ambarchi on guitar and Leo Svensson on cello, She Sleeps, She Sleeps is where we are right now - no return!"
