You are listening to an excerpt from the title track of the new HOOFFOOT album that will be released on the 19th of December.

Do you pay attention to the safety instructions given by the cabin crew before your flight takes off? Then you know you have nothing to worry about if the plane is about to crash. Just keep in mind that the floor lights in the center aisle will safely guide you through the horror.

Here is your aural guiding light through the darkness; the second album (CD and LP) by Swedish jazz rock band HOOFFOOT. The album mixes spontaneity with carefully crafted themes and the music falls into place as natural and prophetic as the album title; “THE LIGHTS IN THE AISLE WILL GUIDE YOU”. Although not a concept album as such, maybe the four instrumental compositions on this album are all about navigating a world in flux? There is definitely a sense of constant change and movement in the music. Just like a spy novel from you want to find out where it is all heading.

The album will have four songs and a total running time of 46 minutes.

1. The lights in the aisle will guide you – 13:04
2. Pablo Octavio – 1st departure 9:46
3. Pablo Octavio – 7th sea 8:34
4. Krematorium (Arrival for autocrats) – 14:39

HOOFFOOT released their debut album in 2015. It was voted album of the year in both Greek and German reviewer forums covering progressive rock. On the follow up you will recognize the eclectic blend of folk/jazz/prog but you will hear the musicians stepping up to the next level, sweating more and taking more chances. The band is now a tight quartet but still manages to sound larger than on the debut. The soundscape is further expanded by invited solo artists contributing with percussion, violin, saxophone and trumpet.

On the new album you will hear:
Pär Hallgren - bass
Jacob Hamilton - drums and percussion
Jocke Jönsson - guitars
Bengt Wahlgren - keyboards

and guest appearances by
Samuel Lundström - violin
Johannes Tärk - percussion
Ida Karlsson - saxophone
Göran Abelli - trombone
Gustaf Sörnmo - trumpet

Basic tracks were recorded in studio Big Arts, Kyrkhult, Sweden, by Harald Bauch in 2017. Overdubs were recorded in studio In-Discourse Malmö, Sweden by Silas Bieri in 2017/2018.

The album was mixed and mastered in 2018 by Silas Bieri and Hooffoot in studio In-Discourse, Malmö Sweden. Vinyl mastering was made by Janne Hansson, Atlantis studios, Stockholm.

The painting used for the cover was painted between 1976-1979 by Swedish painter Thomas Strömdahl.

You will be able to buy the new album through the same channels and distributors as for the first album. (Anyway, we hope that they will continue to support us).
