Food is a visionary band rooted in jazz and improvisation, known for its adventurous blending of genres and sumptuous sonic textures. The core members of the group included British saxophonist Iain Ballamy and Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen, who initially came together in the late 1990s. Over the years, their lineup has been fluid, collaborating with various musicians like trumpeters Arve Henriksen and Nils Petter Molvær, and guitarists Christian Fennesz and Eivind Aarset, to craft their ethereal and often cinematic soundscapes.

The band's discography reflects a commitment to innovation and the exploration of sound. Their 2015 release, "This Is Not A Miracle," weaves together electronic elements with organic jazz textures, creating an aural tapestry that is rich in both rhythm and melody. Likewise, earlier albums such as "Mercurial Balm" (2012) and "Quiet Inlet" (2010) showcase their talent for melding the acoustic with the electronic to produce engaging and dynamic musical narratives. With "Molecular Gastronomy" (2007), "Last Supper" (2004), and "Veggie" (2002), Food established their position at the forefront of the electro-acoustic jazz scene, achieving a balance between improvisational freedom and atmospheric depth that makes their work both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
