Written over the span of 10 years and 3 continents, 'Sojourn' is the long awaited debut album from Melbourne funk/fusion outfit Pickpocket, led by bassist/composer Craig Strain.

Sojourn

INVERSE FUNK

JUNK TRUNK

The follow up to Pickpocket's 2016 debut album 'Sojourn' sees the band delve into deeper grooves, exciting sonic landscapes and ear catching harmonic textures. With guest appearances from Swedish funk trombone legend Nils Landgren and Incognito/Resolution 88 keys man Tom O'Grady, 'Permutations' is statement of intent from this 9 piece Melbourne group as they pay homage to their musical roots whilst forging into new musical horizons.
