The catholics’ fifth album; unique in their catalogue.
Although The catholics are best known for their winsome blend of worldbeat grooves and hard jazz blowing, every album up to this point had included at least one ‘atmospheric’ track.
With Gondola, bandleader Lloyd Swanton decided to compose an entire album in that vein.
“Beautifully atmospheric”
