Twines

by Relaén

supported by

FLESH MECHANIC Nice fusion of jazz instruments and hip-hop beats. Especially the saxophone with the synths make you feel like you're sitting in modern France. Favorite track: Confusion Of Emojones.

tylab Out of this album's first impressions of warm and pleasant hazes comes into focus delicate and organic construction. There is a lot going on in this album. Sparsely placed synths, lush piano, voice lines that evolve in so many different ways that you forget it’s a voice making them, complex but approachable rhythms and tumbling but precise saxophone lines add up to something truly unique. I haven't been so taken aback by a bands unique sound since I first heard Hiatus Kaiyote. Favorite track: Life Goes On.

Andrew Jervis Sometimes it's best not to ask too many questions and just let the music do it's thing. Favorite track: Serbia Song.

Only recently discovered this and am asking myself why I had never heard of Yussef Dayes in particular... live this whole album. Such musicianship and a fresh/modern take on classic jazz forms. Massive respect to the musicians Pilot Fish
