about

"File under ‘A’ for Amazing. Categorisation isn’t always helpful nor easy, but to help readers get a handle on this album, maybe think; ‘Nu-Jazz’. I’d also put this album on the same shelf as Bristol’s Ishmael Ensemble"

- TQ ZINE

"On Black Water/Brown Earth, his second of three albums in 2022, Heffernan called in the help of his Dutch friends Mees and Elsa in King Champion Sounds again, and wrote the album in a long distance session. The album feels like an excursion in nature, featuring bird song, flowing water, pots and pans percussion, and a genuine feel of wandering about and experiencing the outside world with eyes and ears wide open. It is a band effort too, with organic sounding drums, the characteristic saxophone, and droning synths. Out of the two albums on display here it is probably the most likely to return on a live stage somewhere as a vibrant jam session."

- WEIRDO SHRINE

"The shorter tracks are perhaps designed to temper the mood or counter and reflect the passage of time on an album of mostly structured improvisation and it may only be closer ‘Memory’ that is truly free to roam musically, its long jazzy segments skipping off into the farthest corners of the left field…"

- UNDER THE HILLS

Just incredible kosmische/pysch/jazz fusion work, somewhat similar to Babaluma-era Can. I had never heard of Nova Express before, and now I can't believe I missed them all this time. Levrikon

I was on a train travelling to Seefeld in Austria and had nothing but the Alps to look over from the windows. This was a perfect compliment to the environment I was in Robert A Johnson
