Pan & Me ~ Ocean Noise

Matthew Collings ~ Silence Is A Rhythm Too
Last year we reviewed Matthew Collings‘ Splintered Instruments, which is being re-released on Denovali along with the current album. The instrumentation is even stronger this time around, highlighted by a brass ensemble and string quartet, and the vocals have been dropped. While

Bruno Sanfilippo ~ ClarOscuro
The phrase that comes to mind while watching Bruno Sanfilippo play the piano is “deceptively simple”. One thinks, “that doesn’t look so hard”. Then the right hand moves up an octave, the playing grows more complex, and one’s initial impression is revised.

Denovali Swingfest London 2014 ~ Day Two
Logistics precluded my attendance at the first day of Denovali’s second spring takeover of London’s east end, but for me the smaller-scale second day over the Easter weekend promised the festival’s highlights anyway. Set in the welcoming intimacy of Café

The Alvaret Ensemble, Kira Kira, Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson, Ingi Garðar Erlendsson, Borgar Magnason ~ Skeylja
Jonsi may have popularized the invented language in modern music, but he hasn’t cornered the market. Just ask Jan Kleefstra, whose Frisian dialect crashes head-first into Icelandic on Skeylja. The title itself is a blend of the Frisian Skylge (Terschelling, one of the

Petrels ~ Mima
Petrels albums are like little mysteries. Oliver Barrett’s songs are always about more than they seem. Even the instrumentals have hidden stories. The press releases provide clues, but the rest is up to the listener. Mima is no exception. Barrett’s second album
