The Artist/Album: Fennesz, Seven Stars (Touch, 2011)
A Short Review: Hooks that are as humid as the hurricane-ready air outside our office window. And while three of the four new songs on this 10-inch will sound familiar to anyone who’s heard Fennesz before, the simple addition of brushed drums to the title track adds a human dimension to music that’s otherwise alien and slightly atonal. According to the composer/multi-instrumentalist, “I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track. This might be something I will continue with in the future.” We can only hope.
