OISOLÜN

Good band playing mellow jazzy compositions. I enjoy the instruments used that are not heard often in the same song, i.e., trombone, xylophone, vibraphone, and harp. "Frogs Might Disappear" is the highlight for me. A jumpy rhythm that in my imagination mimics a frog jumping along. The issue for me on this release is the vocals. They are pitchy most of the time. On "Le Concierge" they are atrocious, notably off key and it is difficult to listen to. Maybe the band is trying something new, microtonal vocals, and I'm the only one that doesn't appreciate it? Anyway, I think "OisoLün" would bnefit as an instrumental work or a different singer.
