Recorded at the legendary Atlantis Studio in Stockholm, Words Were Coming Out Our Ears
captures a unique musical encounter in the moment. Pianist Johan Graden, bassists Vilhelm
Bromander and Pär Ola Landin, and drummer Nils Agnas entered the studio without a fixed plan –
the music emerged organically through improvisation and attentive interplay.

What sets this album apart is the instrumentation. With two double bass players, the music gains an
unusual depth and weight, where the bass not only supports the harmony but also takes on
melodic and textural roles. This is no traditional piano trio – rather, it's an ensemble where roles shift
constantly, and the sonic landscape is shaped by sensitivity and openness. 

One track features additional layers of sound with guest musicians Katarina Agnas on contrabassoon
and Emil Strandberg on trumpet.

With Words Were Coming Out Our Ears, the ambition is to create a cohesive sonic identity – to
allow each piece to take its own shape while still belonging to a unified whole. The music invites
deep listening, guided by intuition and presence in the moment.
