Blueneck ~ King Nine
Album to album, the sound of Blueneck is hard to predict: instrumental, buried vocal, clear vocal, mix. But the melancholic mix of piano and guitars is constant, as is the level of quality. The new work pushes the band further into the

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

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
