They don't come any more uncategorisable than this.

Bass, drums, harp and voices improvising with structure and reference, but never closing the door behind them once they enter a room. Fans of Miles Davis and Vaughan Williams should pay attention.

The former because you will like the vibe, the latter because the title track is a sort of cover of V-W's setting of the Verlaine poem. "Mobius Trip" dares to be 12 minutes long yet doesn't waste a second. "Shapeshifter" does exactly what it says in the title.
