Nodding by the Fire - At home in the wilderness (2011)



/Alt-folk, Mood music, New Weird Europe, Baroque folk, Epic, Chamber folk, Indie folk, Instrumental folk, Folk indie, Brass folk/

Comment: This is the sophomore album by this Spanish-based instrumental music combo (Javier Ordàs, Carlos Puente, Jacob Gonzàlez). Likely to the self-titled debut issue (2010), indeed, At home in the wilderness is managed to manipulate on listeners` mood via brass-induced themes, fully radiant harmonica-led melodies, some adjacent droning examples and craftily tinted textures, some of those having reached essentially dizzy altitude. For instance, I`ll tell you a story, and the self-named track. On the other side, it can not outbalance the trio`s first outlet.
