"memories of björn bolssen" is the first album by vienna-based tupolev. they perform instrumental compositions between classical music, electro-acoustic and jazz with glimpses of pop.
the album consists of nine slow and minimalist pieces for piano and bass on the one hand and an expanded composition ("garlic '07") for bass and electronics on the other. but the central pieces of the album are those where drums (and sometimes cello) join in to add up to the actual tupolev sound. sometimes difficult though persistently beautiful, those songs manage to make up a record to keep in your heart.
