3 stars Interesting release by danish based Robin Taylor here.

Layers of melody lines, certain amounts of dissonance that do take some getting used to, and music that will frustrate anyone that are fond of classifying music in one certain genre.

Most songs contain a backdrop of synth to the soundscape, and in most songs the hammond is the central instrument pushing the song forwards. Sax, clarinet and flugelhorn adds jazzy atmospheres to the tracks, the guitar is used effectively to create dark and at times ominous moods to some songs; and the piano is much used to play simple melodies in most songs as well.

All in all creating interesting, experimental music with noticeable jazz influences - but without sounding anywhere near jazz or fusion.

Windhawk | 3/5 |
