Surprise Chef's music is based on evoking mood; their vivid arrangements utilize time and space to build soundscapes that invite the listener into their world. The quintet's distinct sound pulls from 70's film scores, the funkier side of jazz, and the samples that form the foundation of hip hop. Hailing from just outside of Melbourne, Australia their first two albums, 'All News Is Good News' and 'Daylight Savings' amassed a die-hard fanbase and brought their sound from their home studio to every corner of the globe. Their self proclaimed "moody shades of instrumental jazz-funk" is on full display throughout this album 'Education & Recreation'.
