TALL TALES
First Quarter

 

Tall Tales is a Stockholm-based music collective led by trombone player, composer and producer Arvid Ingberg, a group that unites synth-dominated pop strains with funky rhythms and jazz improvisation. The group debuted with Gamut in February 2017 and did their much acclaimed sophomore release Birch Tree Mind in September 2018. One of band producer Arvid Ingberg's ambitions is to introduce a jazzy and listener-friendly music to an audience not acquainted with instrumental music. On their third album First Quarter, Tall Tales cross the genre boundaries freely, touching at jazz, pop, funk and electronica through pulsating grooves and sweeping cinematic synths with a dash of psychedelia, presenting strong melodies infused with the sounds of 80s pop, rock and television music. Celebrated Swedish jazz singer Amanda Ginsburg contributes with her sweet vocals on one track, but it is above all the combined powerful lead horns of Arvid Ingberg and Samuel Muntlin that shine the most. Tall Tales present music that is in part a throwback, and in part way ahead of its time, and most assuredly unlike anything most people have heard so far, melodic, catchy and groovy. Fans of jazz, pop and cinematic retro music are sure to take delight in Tall Tales' latest offering!
