CHROME HILL IN THE PRESS:

 



REVIEWS OF THE ALBUM "CHROME HILL MEETS DŌJŌ: AKETA NO MISE" (2024):

Bringing together the Norwegian jazz quartet, or two of them, with Dőjő, the Japanese improvisational koto and drum duo, was an inspired bit of experimental madness. One that works marvelously. (Jazz in Japan, JP)

“Live at Aketa No Mise” is an album that mirrors like few others this indefinable surprise caused by the spontaneity and urgency of music created in real time. Let us listen to it without moderationbonitas - António Branco (Jazz, PT)

«Ascend» from This Is Chrome Hill demonstrates the volcanic and intoxicating energy of such a musical summit (Salt Peanuts, NO)

This is a great opportunity to get to know Chrome Hill and their eclectic western- cinematic music. Dőjő and their instrumentation makes it all even more fascinating. (Disharmoni, NO)
