World renowned Irish American group’s third studio album. The Gloaming is four master musicians and one singer, seemingly suspended in time as their music unfurls around them, its tendrils reaching out into every nook and cranny of the room. It’s undoubtedly Irish music - with violinists Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, guitarist Dennis Cahill, and with Ó Lionáird, one of the greatest contemporary sean-nos singers. But it’s also more than that: pianist and producer Thomas Bartlett steers the music towards a place where modernity and the old world become one. The heart of The Gloaming remains, but there are touches throughout that signal its points of difference.

Recorded in London with the producer Ian Grimble (Daughter, Mumford and Sons, Bear's Den) at Church's Studio, between the high walls of a church where Mass is held every Sunday, Yellow was born, song after song. Starting with "Oh My," a thrilling opening track evoking the toxicity of bad encounters, and moving on to "Million Years," born during an outdoor getaway, and "Always," inspired by the passing of a travel loving friend and the fragility of existence, the 12 songs follow each other in a beautiful sequence, cultivating the folk and acoustic sound of Hugo, who wants to bring "light, color, warmth" to his melancholy. His goal is to deliver his life experiences with sincerity without losing the unifying and lively potential of rhythm.

This is the new album by Modeselektor. It has been in the works for two years and was made within a month. It’s a record offering essential Modeselektor, a record formed by experience, self confidence and the usual madness. It raises a question and answers it straight away. „Who Else” is yet another counteraction to boredom and formulaic approaches. Hear Modeselektor casually kicking against the pricks.

Jazz trios named after the piano player give certain expecations, be it Horace Silver and his tender "Que Pasa" or Esbjørn Svensson and his Northern sounds, clarity and intimacy are common to these, with a hint of tonal melancholy.
These characteristics also feature on "Before Dawn", the debut album from The Oddgeir Berg Trio, who are clearly familiar with a Scandinavian jazz tradition.
