Goran Kajfeš Tropiques - Tell Us - this one tripped *4* of the monitored keywords in my RSS reader, thanks to the RIYL list in the promo copy:

The Swedish quartet Goran Kajfeš Tropiques share their new music We Jazz Records on May 3rd. Tell Us, an album consisting of three long pieces composed by the group, is "slow music" to the bone, a deep body of work utilising the language of jazz as its core mode of communication but echoing way beyond. The quartet is expanded with strings, adding wings to the music and helping it lift off the ground in a personal, highly engaging manner. The Tropiques quartet consists of Goran Kajfeš (trumpet, synthesizer), Alexander Zethson (piano, organ, synthesizer), Johan Berthling (acoustic bass) and Johan Holmegard (drums) – each a key member in the Swedish creative music scene, with experience from groups such as Dungen, Ghosted, Fire!, Gard Nilssen's Supersonic Orchestra, Oddjob, plus many more, including Goran Kajfeš's own Suptropic Arkestra. Their music, groove based and connected to the tradition of "minimalism" has at times been called "hypno-jazz". All three compositions on Tell Us expand on what the Tropiques have done before, building around their signature style and its spacey texture and rooting the musical narrative in strong melody, rolling groove and their collective limitless urge for sonic exploration. As the opener "Unity In Diversity" goes to show, Tropiques's compositions are like flowers opening slowly, each element and layer growing out of what has come before, in a constantly surprising manner. This music, then, becomes the perfect antidote for the quick-fix eye candy rolling down your smartphone screen. This music will take its time, but it'll also create new dimensions with each second as it unfolds.

UNDER THE RADAR: New Album - Adrianne Lenker – "Bright Future", released on March 22, 2024

UNDER THE RADAR: New Album – Adrianne Lenker – “Bright Future”, released on March 22, 2024 “A varied but consistently high-quality 12-song set recorded with the acoustic trio of Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson, and Josefin Runsteen.” allmusic

Adrianne Lenker — Bright Future (4AD)

Photo by Germaine Dunes

On Adrianne Lenker’s last solo outing, 2020’s songs & instrumentals, it was just the artist, producer/engineer Philip Weinrobe, plus the rain and birds that could be heard from the cabin retreat where Weinrobe recorded direct to tape. Dominated by radiant finger-picked guitar and vulnerable voice, the double album had a consistent, intimate feel all its own. Though the recording process for Bright Future continued Weinrobe’s all-analog working methods, this time she's joined by Nick Hakim on vocals and piano, Mat Davidson (Twain) on vocals, piano and violin, and Josefin Runsteen on vocals, percussion and violin. This expanded instrumentation and collaborative spirit lends these songs a more eclectic flavor.

The most immediately striking songs are those dominated by piano, such as opener “Real House,” centerpiece “Evol,” and closer “Ruined,” demarcating the record’s potent emotional landscape. On “Real House,” Hakim’s piano meanders through a series of questioning, jazzy chords, while Lenker recounts what sound like pivotal moments from her childhood story. Given the scene-setting opening of the song, where the incidental sounds of the players settling into the session lend a feeling of ease and spontaneity, it’s unsettling to then witness a childhood story so vivid and stark: “When I was seven I saw the first film that made me scared / And I thought of this whole world ending / I thought of dying unprepared.” Though the wordplay on “Evol” is certainly clever, contrasting pairs of words running forwards and backwards, it’s the aching sway of the song’s delicate melody that’s especially moving. “Ruined” is similarly potent, shimmering with ghostly textures, sufficient to distract the listener from a rare lyrical clanger: “You just gave me an amethyst from your jeweled vest as you cried.”

Elsewhere the tone shifts wildly, from the swaying Dylan-inspired country-folk of “Sadness As A Gift,” featuring lovely vocal harmonies from Davison, via the breakneck guitar patterns of “Fool,” to the jaunty banjo of “Already Lost.” A rather odd inclusion is an acoustic rendition of “Vampire Empire,” which Big Thief released as a single last year. While Lenker included a couple of songs on abysskiss that were later reworked as full-band songs on the masterful U.F.O.F. (“Terminal Paradise” and “From”), here the acoustic version sounds like a step backward and doesn’t feel like it belongs, especially given this album’s 45-minute runtime. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of gorgeous material here, offering further evidence of Lenker’s subtle and surprising songwriting.

Cinematic is definitely a term you could use to describe Ed Fraser’s noise-rock outfit HEADS., though perhaps the style of cinema would be more unnerving and tense, leaning toward horror and the you-don’t-wanna-know sides of life. When we reviewed their latest record ‘Push’ (out via Glitterhouse Records), we suggested that at times it can stir up “a cocktail of…

Kino Motel shares new single ‘Simple Desire’

Melbourne-based duo Kino Motel’s windy and spacious second single, ‘Simple Desire’, sees Rosa Mercedes take on lead vocal duties, weaving her addictive melodies around deep rolling bass lines. Bandmate Ed Fraser provides a bendy soundscape on guitars and synth, using seemingly elastic notes to bend each section into the next, while Josefin Runsteen completes the composition with some beautifully-vintage drum beats. The song opens up and pushes us into an ethereal scene, we hear mellotron with 70s-cult-inspired backing vocals, and Rosa’s addictive tones complete each chorus with the line ’Til all the grey will saturate to black and white’ - looking for something concrete, devoid of middle ground. Clocking in at just under 3 minutes, this all makes for an intriguing, strange-yet-catchy listen - a sound the band has labeled ‘grit pop’. ‘Simple Desire’ features drums from Josefin Runsteen, and was recorded in Berlin and Melbourne by Sebastian Maschat and Ed Fraser respectively, and mastered in Hamburg by Philipp Welsing.

Charles Spearin & Josefin Runsteen – Thank God The Plague Is Over (Arts & Crafts)

Charles Spearin and Josefin Runsteen, two complete strangers from different spheres of music, met at a 12th-century castle in northern Italy in July 2019. They were invited by Feist and Damien Rice, among a handful other fantastic musicians and artists from various countries, to a week-long residency to collaborate on music, poetry and ideas…

On the first day of the residency, when Charles and Josefin had barely exchanged a word to each other, they went up to test the acoustics in the Chapel and began improvising on their instruments. Charles, the Canadian, brought his nyckelharpa, a Swedish folk instrument, while Josefin, the Swede, brought her violin. Immediately, they were astonished by colourful explosions of sound and they felt an instantaneous, profound musical connection. They decided to meet there every day and record their improvisations. These explorations are collected here as their debut album, Thank God the Plague is Over.

They walked back and forth to their chapel every day in complete silence except for the crunch of the gravel under their feet. The walk, the nearby collection of new friends, the kind Rasini family, the mountains, the chirping sparrows in the rafters—and, most important, the sacred tiny sanctuary of the Chapel—were all direct contributors to the creation of this album.

They still don’t actually know each other.

I'm so happy to share with you "Personal Message" from the upcoming album 'Emotional Eternal'. 

This song is probably the special one for the three of us, i think the music revealed so naturally, we didn't change much from the original material. The story is inspired by a place I lived by the sea in the south of France. When something disenchanting happened I would take refuge near my house on the peninsula under the pines, a natural sanctuary where i sent wishes to the shore, I was soothed by its beauty. The song has this washed out wooden and salty vibe, it's a marine bird. I'm in love with the folkloric theme the swedes came along with, I played violin with Gustav Esjtes of Dungen and Josefin Runsteen, she has transcended the string section to another dimension with her virtuosity. Please take care of yourself, breathe and speak soon, Melody
