Four years on from the release of Dust Breathing, Møster! are following it up with a new record. Entitled Springs, it marks their sixth full length album and it will see the light of day on September 20th through Action Jazz. Composed entirely by saxophonist and band leader Kjetil Møster, it features the same lineup as when the band formed in 2009, Motorpsycho guitarist Hans Magnus ‘Snah’ Ryan; electric bass player of Elephant9 and Needlepoint Nikolai Hængsle; and Spidergawd and ex-Motorpsycho drummer Kenneth Kapstad. Corralling a variety of musical influences, including 1960’s/1970’s modal acoustic and electric jazz and 1970’s experimental rock, the upcoming Springs also interweaves elements of Brazilan music, doom, contemporary music, 1990’s indie rock and metal, and nordic ambient house.

Møster! have already let loose two singles from the album, ‘Dreaming Xaxado’ and ‘Liquid Fumes’. As Møster! describes, the latter is “an ode to the almost astral experience one can enter by listening deeply to old jazz ballads, a reverent little nod to the poetic spirit of Coleman Hawkins and Pharoah Sanders.”

Listen to both tracks below.

With so much music being churned out all the time, sadly a lot of good albums end up falling through the cracks. Luckily, that’s not the case with When You Cut Into the Present, the third album from Norwegian quartet Møster!, released last September. We first heard of and saw Kjetil Møster, the man behind the project, rocking the sax and keys in Datarock back in 2007. But he counts memberships and collaborations in many other bands, including The Core, Ultralyd, Röyksopp and King Midas, amongst many others.

Møster! continue to draw influence from prog rock, psychedelia and John Coltrane’s jazz but with When You Cut Into The Present they also “share the honours with everyone from King Crimson in their Red period to Alice Coltrane and the krautrock masters of Can”, as the release blurb describes.

Here’s the epic and wild opening track ‘Nebula and Red Giant’.
