Annie Chen's newest album Guardians was released on February 23, 2024 on JZ Music, features Alex LoRe on saxophone, Fung Chern Hwei on Violin, Vitor Gonçalves on piano, Marius Duboule on guitar, Mathew Muntz on bass and Satoshi Takeishi on drums.
The band is an explosive combination of nationalities and cultural backgrounds (Chinese, Brazilian, Japanese, Swiss, French, American and Malaysian) brought together with a focus on orchestration, sound texture, energy and improvisation. Centered around the suite titled “Guardians”, the band critically examines humanity's impact on the planet and animal life, delving into complex relationship between humans and nature.
Through thematic and sometimes theatrical compositions, the band navigates the drama of modern society, addressing crises, loss and the potential for hope.
