Feldspar

So my Monday continues with the theme of melodic rock (see references over the past week) and Feldspar is another fine addition. I have oft commented that music is of a moment in time and why I don’t discard a sound if it doesn’t immediately grab my ears. There is always space in my head for 3 chords and 3 minutes, but the sounds I have written about today don’t often hit the sweet spot.

Whilst the quintet add a complexity to the compositions, it naturally drifts in to the room in a calming balm of sound and all the intricacies nestle around the ears with ease, enabling the listener to enjoy the atmospherics and sounds flowing in to the head, as the band have created an ebb and flow to the songs which becalms not bemuses. There is a natural timbre to the music that creates a sense of ease in the audience enabling them to float with the tracks, unforced and unhurried. The hush of the mood belies the workload being undertaken by the musicians and I am some-what reminded of the vision we have of a swan gliding over the water while underneath there is a frenzy of activity.

The four track EP is a worthy addition to the ‘mood music’ playlist and if you can’t wait until the 3rd December – Volume I is available on The Flat and Paper Sky Vol I - EP - Feldspar*
