| 4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | December 26th 16 |
The eccentric Russian experimental trio returns, turning in a performance just as good as their self-titled but for different reasons. They keep the base sound here; foggy dark jazz mixed with ambient and sprinkles of experimental electronic, but the mindset in which these songs were written is far more concerned with compositional dexterity and enveloping sounds rather than establishing a base atmosphere. The songs are certainly not as immediate or as catchy as the material on Fogh Depot, but the tracks on Turmalinturm are much more intricate and rewarding in the long run. Initially, the compositions may seem somewhat haphazard and jumpy, but after some time with them, the subtleties and tightly interwoven instrumental interplay of the songwriting become readily apparent. They're two-for-two on excellent albums in their short career so far, hopefully they'll hit the trifecta at some point.
