Drummer Gard Nilssen's ECM leader debut follows acclaimed recordings for the label with the Maciej Obara Quartet and with Mathias Eick. Elastic Wave presents Nilssen's powerful trio with fellow Norwegian Andre Roligheten on reeds and Swedish bassist Petter Eldh (recently heard with Kit Downes). The group's dynamic interaction, dancing sense of pulse and boldly etched themes - all three players contribute compositions - make Acoustic Unity one of the most engaging bands on the circuit today, able to address fiery anthems and poignant ballads with equal panache and conviction.

Elastic Wave was recorded at Studios La Buissonne in the South of France in June 2021.

Gard Nilssen: drums
Andre Roligheten: tenor, soprano and bass saxophones, clarinet
