PROPAN release their new album Swagger on CD, LP and DL on SOFA on the 27th May 2022. An unusual sonic tapestry which is weaved around Duo’s voices with all sorts of beats, noises, samples, loops, crackles – you name it. All very surreal and hypnotic, but in the same time heeling and calming with its repetitive patterns and choruses. Nocturnal journey inside your own head.

In this work written for alto saxophone, two microtonal tubas, double bass, church organ, hand bells and modular synthesizers he is inspired by the Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, and his ideas on different concepts of living.
