Lea Gasser 5tet - Circles (2025) [Hi-Res]

“I'm happy to present you the second album of my 5tet. I wrote most of the songs during a two-month residency in Iceland. 10 years ago, I had already travelled around the island on my bike and fell in love with the vast and lonely landscapes. That trip filled me with deep inspiration. Last year's stay in the north allowed me to slow down and concentrate on my creative work - a luxury in our fast-paced world. Between squalls, endless days of sunshine, dense fog, leaking glaciers and volcanic eruptions, I created new pieces that tell stories of elves and trolls. Delicately realised and further developed with my fellow musicians, my ideas come to life. I wish you a good journey!” - Lea, May 2025
