Andorra | III | February 21, 2025

With a growing international reputation for championing forward-thinking artists in the contemporary jazz space, Denmark’s April Records proudly presents the third album from instrumental collective Andorra

Their most ambitious undertaking yet, the audio-visual release invites audiences to fully immerse themselves in the energetic grooves, lyrical melodies, and colorful modern production that define their sound.

‘III’ is set to be released on February 21st, 2025 via April Records.

Andorra’s eponymous 2021 debut reunited five friends who met at the Funen Music Conservatory and went on to work across a range of disciplines, from film music and orchestral work to large ensembles and chamber jazz. 

Realising their long-held desire to explore their collective creative potential, the ensemble describes their sound as “modern vintage”, bringing together the nostalgic warmth of analog synthesis, present-day digital audio manipulation techniques, and jazz musicianship steeped in tradition.

Taking a decisive step to perfect the production of their music, the quintet recorded at Lundgaard Studios – one of Denmark’s most prestigious studios – and placed the responsibility of mixing in the hands of their own synth-guru Peter Møller, whose deep understanding of the band’s sound made him best suited for the role.

Taking a step back from the dark, brooding music often associated with the Nordic countries, ‘III’ is a playful, high-energy, deep pocket collection of seven original pieces that are unapologetic in their grooving, in-your-face attitude. Driving complex drum parts, shimmering guitar textures, squelching synth pads, thick old-school bass tones, and lush timbres from Mads La Cour’s horns deliver catchy and danceable hooks as easily as they do spacious explorations of texture and vivid harmony.

The entire album has been shaped into a concert film directed by photographer Jesper Van, set to premiere at select cinemas across Denmark – soon to be available online – offering global listeners a comprehensive experience of Andorra’s creative vision.
