[ Rune Grammofon – 25th May release – Fire!Orchestra – Arrival ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

Release date 24.05.19

RCD2205

Five years already past since I last time have seen the whole orchestra on the stage: The Large Unit – 28 musicians. Seeing first big squad realise again makes my heard thrilling.

Their first two albums, Exit (2013) and Enter (2014), presented us with sizeable and ambitious line-ups of 28 musicians. Ritual (2016) saw it reduced to 21 and with Arrival it´s been trimmed down to a “mere” 14, with the core trio of Fire! (Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin) and the two singers Mariam Wallentin and Sofia Jernberg being the only constant members since the beginning. Apart from this reduction, the main line-up difference is the introduction of a string quartet.
