We have just been notified that we have won the most prestigious German music award called Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Jahrenpreis for the album “Too Many Roads”! The price is equivalent to eg. Steppeulven – den danske kritikerpris (DK), Diapasons d’Or (FR) and the jury consists of prominent German music critics, and the nominees are covering all musical genres.

Therefore it’s a big honour to win this price especially when we take a look at the 111 albums we were up against incl. some of the hardliners in our category such as D’Angelo And The Vanguard: Black Messiah, Kendrick Lamar: To Pimp A Butterfly, Robert Plant: Lullaby and … the Ceaseless Roar and Scott Walker & Sunn O))): Soused!
