about

Embrace is the culmination of more than 15 years of experimentation and ongoing collaboration between drummer Alf Jackson and guitarist Julius Schwing, having arrived at a way of playing purely their own and based on a shared desire to create ecstatic and cathartic moments of improvised energy.
This music is born out of a deep appreciation of the natural world and a life lived amongst the elements. Visceral and virtuosic, Embrace is an album that captures two musicians completely comfortable in each others sonic company, welded together by a mutual desire to spread a sense of release and empowerment.

These 6 pieces were captured in a single afternoon in the Isthmus Music headquarters, “The Hall” studio on Lunawanna-Alonnah/Bruny Island, Tasmania.

“Dogs of Pleasure is raw, visceral, energised. To me it sounds like a big, life affirming ‘fuck you’. But it’s also incredibly refined and focused music making that is the result of (perhaps that could only be the result of) years of collaboration between these two extraordinary musicians. I love this album and everything it represents.” - Peter Knight (trumpeter/composer/sound artist)
