Niculin Janett Quartet - Toxicology Report (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Awkward times call for awkward titles. „Toxicology Report“ is an attempt to process a few rocky years marked by strange experiences.

Between a pandemic, wars, and the election of questionable characters, keeping a clear head hasn’t always been easy.
So, to combat the confusion, it’s sometimes good to turn inward and check one's toxicity levels. To see what’s off balance, and maybe try to reset things.

Each track on this record has its own little story of how it got on there. But there’s one that deserves a special mention:
„Per C.C.“ is dedicated to a dear old friend who left far too soon. I know you would have preferred me to compose something like a rock opera for you, not a wonky sounding jazz-tune. But I guess this’ll have to do. I'm quite sure you would've liked it nonetheless.

As one should, I want to say thanks to a few people.

To Rich, Jay, Phippu and Dimi — for making this the most relaxed recording-session I’ve ever put together.

To Michael and Maxime — for making it sound real good.

And to Miri, Joscha, Marvin, Leyla and Tobi — for always helping me keep my toxicity-levels acceptably low.
