7 Hertz — Tender Almost Vulgar

This debut from uk collective  7 Hertz  rewardingly mixes together elements Chamber, Folk, Jazz into a very pleasing audio concoction- that goes from emotional, cinematic, to fun, and making you want to dance and stomp your feet

They utilize the following  instruments to create the albums highly enjoyable brew;  bassoon, violin, voice, double bass, French horn, glockenspiel, clarinet, Mandolin, trumpet. At times it reminded me of Some of  John Zorns Jewish Chamber/ jazz work, but at it’s more fun and playful. At other times in ducks down into more shady sinister swoons of cinematic, At others into fine and regal emotional risers of string clouds, or even off down for blues like jigg- feeling like you’ve slid out on to a door southern American farm yard. Each track has it’s own charms and qualities, each played with such flare, passion, emotion and fun – really there’s never a dull, pretension or stuffy moment on display here (which can often be the case with this type of out-fit).

A highly polished & accomplished debut which I think will be very diffcult to top. There also a project I’d love to see live, as I can imagine they put on one hell of a show.
