The band members' ear for chamber music-like details, blending, ghost notes and micro phrasings refreshes the music live and on the record as always.

What is new is a compact band sound, creating subtle alignments with indie, post rock and ambient pop. The direct groove energy in this new quartet with Jeremias Keller is obvious. This album is nourished by the joy and energy the band developed in contact with a dedicated audience all over the world. Recorded by the band's sound engineer Lars Dolle, produced with the local community and released independently, the album shows the true and original Ronin spirit with the full focus on music and its community. All music is played together live in the studio. Originally characterised as zenfunk because of its combination of minimalistic emptiness and highly intensive groove, the band's style now develops into a kind of nanofunk with even more refinement, details and nuances on the micro level of music making.
