Record of the Week

Education & Recreation

By: Surprise Chef

Surprise Chef’s music is based on evokingmood; their vivid arrangements utilise time and space to build soundscapes thatinvite 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 thefoundation of hip hop.
Surprise Chef push the boundaries of instrumental soul and funk withtheir own approach honed by countless hours in the studio, studying themasters, and perhaps most importantly, the “tyranny of distance” that dictatesa unique perspective to their music.
