Press quotes from the S/T debut album (TROST 181CD/LP, 2019): "Lee Ranaldo/Jim Jarmusch/ Marc Urselli/Balázs Pándi is an egoless collection of ideas from four musicians who sound like they've been working together for an eternity" --Daniel Sylvester, Exclaim! "It's exactly this unpredictability that makes the quartet's evocative sounds thoroughly captivating" --Antonio Poscic, The Quietus. "A magical, hypnotic and somehow frightening album" --Jazzthing Magazine. Personnel: Lee Ranaldo - guitar, pedals, bells; Jim Jarmusch - guitar, pedals, mini-synthesizer; Marc Urselli - bass, laptop; Balázs Pándi - drums. CD version includes one additional track." - Trost.
