Shimmer

The tones on 'Shimmer' are unexpected, and the combinations of instruments far off the beaten trails of familiar genres. It's not quite jazz, not quite neoclassical, not quite soul, but something all its own. Saxophone, clarinet, glockenspiel, cello, pedal steel, synths, guitar and human voice merge in ethereal counterpoints that nod to chamber music, while the rhythm section drives the whole thing forward with an uncanny propulsion that feels cool, self-possessed and hyper contemporary. Think Jacques Brel's 'Je Suis Un Soir D'ete'. Think Chicago fusion à la Tortoise. Think the wall-of-sound production of David Axelrod. Think Steve Reich's organs in polyrhythm. Think Arthur Russell's neo-classical 'Tower Of Meaning'. Think them all at once, then forget all that and open yourself to something new. The LP comes on 180-GRAM MARIGOLD YELLOW VINYL.
