    'I saw the trio play at the London Jazz Festival last year and was absolutely mesmerised. They have an incredible use of effects, especially on both the saxophone and guitar which results in a really expansive sound.’ - Seonaid Aitken, Jazz Nights on BBC Radio Scotland

    'This is an album that could form the lyrical soundtrack for a beautiful film and the sense of groundedness, collaborative questing and restrained emotional intensity makes one curious as to where Chung and the Glasshopper crew’s travels might take them in future.’ - Fiona Mactaggart, Scottish Jazz Space




    'The type is based on the labels from historical the butterfly and insect collections. We visited the Discovery centre in Leeds as part of our initial research – this mad museum warehouse with the most incredibly juxtapositions of objects from thousand-year-old stone tools, to a giant model squid, to creepy Victorian Dolls, Egyptian mummies, 1950’s TV sets and a veritable arc full of of stuffed animals, all packed on the shelves next to each other.

    Among all of this, are hundreds of drawers of old bug and butterfly collections, with these beautifully detailed cards and labels in the meticulous hand of their curator. Whist the main visuals for the album moved on from our initial thoughts with Coll’s beautiful portraits, the typography still gives a nod these labels, and to all the metaphors we spoke about early-on with Jonny – adding a delicacy against the rougher edges of drawings I felt was important to maintain.'
