Suite to be You and Me

by I Think You're Awesome

supported by

StrangeFlow This album is a fusion between sweet classic string vibes and some "modern" freejazz - I can't really describe which moods it throws me into but I can get really lost in those vibes. Also the effects that are used and the interesting song concepts (PT6) make it a very entertaining audio trip. Nice! Favorite track: Pt. 5 The City.

andandoandando This album is magic 🥰 Favorite track: Pt. 3 The Dance.

about

This is the recording of Suite To Be You And Me by prominent Danish indie-jazzers I Think You’re Awesome and the Berlin-based Taïga String Quartet. It is a seven-part suite honoring not only the marriage between ITYA-bandleader, composer and bassplayer Jens Mikkel and Taïga String Quartet cellist Maria Edlund, but also the marriage between the two groups in their quest for beautiful and mocing music.

It is not meant as an overly romantic celebration of love but as a description of relationships, romantic and otherwise between humans, people and nature, arts and crafts. It is filled with joy and positivity but also doubt, despair and anxiety – like all good relationships and all good music.
