Their self-titled debut album, released March 14, 2025 on New York creative music imprint Infrequent Seams, is an immersive and captivating collection of improvisations that has earned wide international acclaim. Strikingly, it also features the duo’s highly personal interpretations of two jazz standards. On dream brigade, Mok and Golub break away from the rigorously composed constructions of their recent individual projects to allow their voices as improvisers and instrumentalists to speak for themselves.
