Soft Ffog
Focus

Om utgivelsen

Soft Ffog is back with their second album «Focus» on Is It Jazz? Records.
More progrock than ever, The Soft is Ffoggier and the Ffog is softer.
Highly influenced by 70s underground heroes like Camel and Focus, sprinkled with that old jazz dust, this new record should satisfy all you 70s nostalgics with a jazz tickle out there!

The combined members of Soft Ffog have probably played with everyone in the Norwegian jazz scene, but here they do their own thing. All songs are composed by Tom Hasslan, and the band is playing his compositions like there’s no tomorrow. But then again, there will probably be a tomorrow, and then you buy the record, and «YoU Will Be happy»!!

Line-up:
– Tom “Zappa-finger” Hasslan on the guitars
– Axel “Pheel the Collin’s” Skalstad on the buckets
– Trond “Geezer Jeezuz” Frønes on the bass
– Vegard “Wake(up the)man” Lien Bjerkan on all the keyboards in the world

Focus was recorded by Christian Engfelt at Studio Paradiso. Produced by Tom Hasslan/Soft Ffog and Christian Engfelt, and mastered by Espen Høydalsvik at OSLO:Fuzz.
Cover art by Einar Evju, layout and logo by Tom Korsvold.
