Following the success of their third studio album The Watermelon Sessions (released 2023), Wide-Eyed Lounge Cats return to the studio where it all began to record a live performance of their original song “Gunnhildr”. The studio, known as the Watermelon Room (based out of Baltimore, MD), became a critical element in the band’s evolution into jazz fusion, allowing them the space and presence to explore, test, and ultimately discover themselves through a shared musicianship. The album and its tracks pay homage to that journey as live performers and studio musicians. The featured song demonstrates the band’s unique ability at bending genres into a powerful array of sounds, and the composition draws inspiration from old Norse folklore and mythology. The video was recorded by Marshall Veth and the audio mixed by Garrett Long, their original engineer (and founder) of the Watermelon Room.

Andrea and Carla Motis have shared many hours of concerts together, but until recently, they had not decided to work as a duo, which with each passing concert becomes more consolidated. Andrea appreciates her sister's taste for risk, for the most “iconoclastic and non-conformist" jazz, and Carla highlights Andrea's “extreme ease" in adapting to all contexts, from the classic jazz with which she began to be known for to the Latin American repertoire or the funk that have shaped her last two record ventures. Together, they propose an intimate and bold duo, subtle and decisive, open to all kinds of sounds.
