Album Premiere: En Las Montañas de Excesos by Chris Cogburn/Ingebrigt Håker Flaten/Bob Hoffnar/Henry Kaiser

En Las Montañas de Excesos
3 April 2018

Chris Cogburn/Ingebrigt Håker Flaten/Bob Hoffnar/Henry Kaiser – En Las Montañas de Excesos

The quartet of spectacular musicians Chris Cogburn / Ingebrigt Håker Flaten / Bob Hoffnar / Henry Kaiser share their entire album, En Las Montañas de Excesos, with The Big Takeover today. Veteran guitarist Kaiser defines the music project as just rock ‘n’ roll and that it’s a contrast to most of the music currently in the ‘popular’ charts.

En Las Montañas de Excesos is the unease and frisson of scaling a mountain; a trek with long moments to peer over the edge or stare far off into your thoughts. From the collective fingertips and minds of drummer/percussionist Chris Cogburn (SSBT), prolific bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (The Young Mothers; Atomic), composer and pedal steel guitar maestro Bob Hoffnar (The Mood Illusion; Indoor Life), and renowned guitar experimentalist Henry Kaiser, the album is a towering edifice of free rock, fusion, and new music.

In its digital format, En Las Montañas de Excesos is four unedited peaks; the LP version is two contiguous sides (of combined edited peaks).

The album comes out Friday, April 6th via Self Sabotage Records (Pre-order at Big Cartel-Self Sabotage ) and digital format at Bandcamp
