With this record, Jakob Bro has taken a tremendous detour in his style, in which his lyrical compositions and guitar took center stage. Like Bro’s record from 2005,Sidetracked, BRO / KNAK is woven together in fragments of sound, making a collage of versatile works of art recorded in collaboration with prestigious musicians from all over the world
