In this shop's opinion there aren't many better instrumental funk and soul units around than Australian groove dealers Surprise Chef. 'Frogs In A Pond' see them flexing their otherworldly ability to channel the cinematic soul of the great European film composers of the 60s and 70s into a present day sound that has a fluid funk and a tight restraint that provides a hypnotic listenability rather an all-flash no substance hyperactive workout.
Surprise Chef’s album Frogs In A Pond is an examination into, and an expression of, a shared human experience. Based in Australia, the quintet found inspiration from European film composers working in the late 60s and early 70s. The music expresses musical themes with a cinematic landscape of moods and feelings that evoke emotion without the listener having watched the film for which the music was composed, pushing boundaries that dictate a unique perspective to their music.
