Soft Ffog is back with their second album “Focus” on Is It Jazz? Records.
More Prog Rock than ever, The Soft is Ffoggier and the Ffog is softer.
Highly influenced by 70s underground heroes like Camel and Focus, sprinkled with that old Jazz dust, this new record should satisfy all you 70s nostalgics with a Jazz tickle out there!
The combined members of Soft Ffog have probably played with everyone in the Norwegian Jazz scene, but here they do their own thing. All songs are composed by Tom Hasslan, and the band is playing his compositions like there’s no tomorrow. But then again, there will probably be a tomorrow, and then you buy the record, and “YoU Will Be happy“!!
