Surprise Chef - Education & Recreation

Mon 31 Oct 2022 to Sun 6 Nov 2022
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Education & Recreation, the brand new LP from Surprise Chef.

Surprise Chef’s music is based on evoking mood; their vivid arrangements utilise time and space to build soundscapes that invite the listener into their world. The quintet’s distinct sound pulls from '70s film scores, the funkier side of jazz, and the samples that form the foundation of hip hop.
