Jakob Sørensen is now releasing his second album as a bandleader. Since finishing his studies in Aarhus Jakob Sørensen has been working on the record NOMAD, which stylistic is a natural sequel to the debut album Bagland.
The evocative cover has been created by the international recognized artist Nedko Solakov. Both the cover picture and the simple design, designed by Andreas Nordström creates clear references to the Nordic landscape, from which Jakob Sørensen finds so inspiring.
NOMAD will be released on a 10” vinyl and on digital platforms through the Aarhus label Jaeger Community Music.

Difficult to name a favourite track, however if I was forced to choose an all time favourite album this would certainly be up there at the top. I'm in the UK but it was a friend in South Africa that introduced me to Gondwana. Absolutely beautiful album from start to finish, amazing musicians and composition both. Thank you, it inspires me to become a better musician. raiscott
I finally got to see the band at Yes last year,was moved to tears and have the(partly) signed live version
I bought the double vinyl of this for my friend's daughters 18th,,a rugby playing drama school harpist in Calderdale ..Harmony of Nature just sets what is going to unfold and the moment it begins I feel the stress leaving me wattyness
Pop sensibility, vintage effects, and a sophisticated ear for tonal development make this jazz foray truly charming. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 1, 2017
some times music makes you pause to listen and in that moment of listening, your entire perception of the world can change, this is that kind of music. mandocello
