Distributed by legendary Honest Jon's Records.
Gilles Petersen has been spinning it!
"Modal jazz has found its beast. She is Swedish, ferocious and goes by the name Langendorf United.
A ferocious rhythm section, a soaring sax, and a groove rooted in Ethiopia.
It’s jazz that hits hard, sweats, and makes you headbang — right into the haze." Djolo Mqagazine
"Undercover Beast is a joyful listen, Complex, yet at the same time, easily absorbed. This music moves your body and shakes your brain", Songlines Magazine Aug 2025.
