3.5 greatBedex | April 6th 21

Completely random find as I was looking for a metal band called Rune and stumbled upon a Swedish jazz guitarist fella. Whilst album construction has many flaws, this is full of great tracks. My favourites are the more relaxed ones where the guitar takes on latin flavour - perfect for relaxed sunny snoozetime. This is particularly prominent on 7 and 8 but there are others. The transition into the super fun and dancey 9 is a bit weird but the track per se is great. 10 continues things fine, and then 11 finishes the album on the other style it does quite well imo: brooding, dreamy fusionesque jazz. Notice that this run 7-11 is quite strong and in fact bumps the album a point, for what comes before it is a tad more erratic. While 1 and especially 3 are other examples of nice relaxed tracks, 2 is frankly laughable with its super out of date guitar effect ventures. 4 is fine and sort of fusioney. 5 feels a bit like the local village band having a jam, and 6 really feels like western saloon jazz music, which is fun but really shows how the album doesnt really know where to go - an impression reinforced by the fadeout at the end of the track. Thankfully as I said, the second half or so bumps this from a 3.6 to a 3.7

Bump
