Wolf Müller & Cass 'The Sound Of The Glades' (International Feel)
International Feel’s recent series of mini-albums have proved that the appetite for classic Balearica remains undimmed. Not that there’s anything mini about ‘The Sound Of The Glades’. At 40 minutes long, these five tracks from Jan Schulte and Niklas Rehme-Schlüter have an epic, infinite grace. There’s significant weight to the twinkling ‘Miyazaki’, with its echoes of that early Balearic gem, St Etienne’s version of Neil Young’s ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’. And the album’s title track, a 16-minute opus populated by exotic bird calls, finger bells and gauzey drone, is a deep dive into the bluest of ambient waters.
