Description
2023, 2×12″ LP, Claremont 56.
Ferdi Schuster’s debut album, 2019’s All One, was criminally overlooked when it was first released, despite containing some of the most beautiful and atmospheric music ever released by Claremont 56 (and that’s saying something). If there’s any justice, this arguably even better follow-up won’t be ignored. Schuster, a talented multi-instrumentalist, played, recorded and produced everything on the album – something that makes it even more remarkable given the variety of instrumentation on show. This is deep, dubby, immersive and evocative downtempo music to get lost in, with Schuster subtly doffing his cap to everything from krautrock, dub, trip-hop, ambient house, jazz, Afrobeat, jazz-funk and Latin beats on sumptuously produced and executed sunset and sunrise soundtracks. In a word: sublime. – Juno
