About the Album

Melodic, hooky, complex, witty, entrancing, passionate: Mood Music for Time Travellers is the E/Os first new album since 2005, and will introduce this 25 year old band to a new audience. Undeniably jazz, challenging and thought-provoking, the vividness and clarity of the writing and playing cuts across genre lines and the expectations of the listener and makes a deep impression on the wider audience as well as jazz cognoscenti.
