Renowned British new wave jazz group Led Bib return for their 11th album in a new keyboard-less formation but with their high intensity, hybrid fusions and musicality intact. While they 'continue to make the world safe for dangerous music', the sound of the group has matured and become deeper and more melodic, incorporating influences from other cultures and weaving them into their Motorik, prog and punky DNA. 2024 brought an offer to work as artists in residence in the Austrian countryside - to develop a completely new quartet sound without keyboards. Initially there was no intention to create an album, but the music and the spirit of the sessions made this inevitable. Not 'just another Led Bib album', Hotel Pupik represents a reassessment of what the band is now in 2025."
