Kaukasus can be viewed as a musical tripod — its weight firmly in the middle, where the three points meet. The three points being Ketil Vestrum Einarsen (Jaga Jazzist, Motorpsycho), Rhys Marsh (The Autumn Ghost, Opium Cartel) & Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, White Willow).

Although based in different parts of Scandinavia, the trio still managed to record an incredibly cohesive-sounding album, trusting each other’s instincts without question. In fact, as the album was written & recorded in a such a short amount of time — only two weeks — it sounds like they were not only in the same room, but in exactly the same places in their minds & in their lives — the intensity & chemistry jumping from the speakers as the album begins.

Their debut album, ‘I’, was released on the 5th of May, on Autumnsongs Records, via Burning Shed, in a mini-lp gatefold sleeve, with artwork by Henning Lindahl. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
