What are you listening to right now?

[Jean Pierre]

Jonah's vocals are a mix of Stevie and Michael J.

Yes, this singer has an incredible range and an exceptional voice timbre.

But the bass player for me, well his grooves are off the chart.

Yes the bass player is also a great virtuoso, even if I don't like his punk look.  , listen to his bass solo around 1mn58 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJP3mjQKWmY

The drummer is fantastic -

yes one has the impression that it never makes a measurement identical to the previous one.

Its a mix of fusion, jazz, soul, gospel and rock

yes it's exactly this mix of style

In short, we agree dear Bruno ...it's been a long time since I've heard such exciting musicians...even if it's a style of music that I'll never be able to approach, not even in a dream!

[Mike_S]

Musicians at the top of their game - but which is the greatest - you decide. This track kills ....

I am always amazed on how good these guys are - they've been on my radar for quite a few years, and they are going from strength to strength - amazing.

IMO the best musicians on the scene, and all in one band!!!!

Damn, had to jump in and listen too...

Shit, this sounds like it could be the breakthrough band that I have been looking for to make people that only like pop music listen to real musicians... it starts off like pop music and then goes way off into prog / jazz fusion territory... I will make my daughter listen... my wife already said "ooh, that's good!" 

[Jean Pierre]

prog / jazz fusion territory.

It's true Mike from 3mn we switch to jazz fusion.....these guys are unbelievable

I'm glad I'm not alone at seeing this :-)

I've been listening to the loopsters since "Loopify" came out in 2014. They were clearly great muso's then - but they have just got better and better. This latest drop of tunes is almost dumbfounding. The "musician react" on youtube are great - but they all end up with no words, a huge smile on their face, and say they are off to practice. This is a joy to listen to, and for Jazz, none of this looses you. I've never heard music switch so many styles, so seamlessly and so well. None of the commercial music really excites me any more, perhaps some a little more than others, but not that much - but this is different! I cannot get enough. In dark times, this is a shining jewel. Well done Sweden.

Some more tracks of of the Phoenix EP, I love the fact they look like a real band, having real fun making music - there is real chemistry in this band. They are killing it and me!

This one rocks my world, but its Dirty Loops that are on fire.

How did they get to gospel - I have no idea. However, this is probably my favorite track of theirs.

Their latest and possibly their best commercial track, or was it the previous one??? I don't know anymore, and listen for that high note

Dirty Loops - oh yes......stunning

[Frank53]

I might as well contribute. Yes, the most exciting pop act I've heard in many years!
All music school grads, and it shows.

[Jean Pierre]

Yeah! I don't think we're about to get tired of these 3 incredible musicians ...that they graduated from the Royal Academy of Music doesn't surprise me...

what a range this singer! what a phrasing! (which reminds a little Michael Jackson)

...and you can feel that they are having a lot of fun playing.

What a discovery!
