Progetto amatissimo da Thom Yorke
Da Boomkat dove è il secondo disco più venduto degli ultimi 12 mesi

Groggy, engrossing new work from Ulla under their newly minted U.e. tag, riffing to the sublime on a set of (mostly) acoustic reveries that tap into the kind of smokey vapours favoured by the likes of Vincent Gallo, Voice Actor, Jonnine. Oh aye, it’s a special one.

A new year, label, album and handle for Ulla, a multifaceted artist who has draped our pages with wonder, under numerous aliases and collabs, for almost a decade. On ‘Hometown Girl’ they distill transience and flux into a quiet set of chamber works subtly resembling the room recorded nuance of their ‘Jazz Plates’ side with Perila - here taken a step further into more elusive, low-lit dimensions.

In a mode that’s wistful and melancholic, listening to the album’s dozen discrete pieces feels like leafing thru a journal of hand-written notes, reflecting on the feelings that come with separation from loved ones and displacement from familiarity. Ulla performed and recorded all of the instruments themselves, lending a tangible tactility to layered arrangements of woodwind, keys, strings, drums and voice, lightly speckled with electronics and perfused with open window field recordings.

They locate a crackling frisson of personality in the voice notes and day-dreaminess of their mottled inscapes, gauzily demarcating lines between past and present selves. In that aesthetic and approach we can also hear similarities to Jonnine’s blue-skied ‘Southside Girl’ or crys cole’s poetic sensuality, often leaning into the domestic surreal.

A frayed, opening salutation ‘Good Morning’ signals a delirious half hour in Ulla’s company, variously swaying to the downstroked jazz swing of a ‘Lavender (NF)’ spritzed with clarinet, whilst ‘Froggy Explorer’ stirs the air like Jan Jelinek on a barely-there tip. The Basinski-esque fritz of degraded loops really snags the imagination along with a twinkling nightlight ‘Ball’, as the album opens out into its most fully resolved songs with a closing couplet of disarming wonders ‘Drawing of Me’, and a blurry ‘Mute’ that feels like Ulla 〜almost〜 reveals too much before retreating back into the shadows.

non è proprio nu-jazz ma lo metto qui

Questo disco di Tony Allen e Jeff Mills del 2018 per me (non per Onda Rocco che gli ha messo 5,5) è figo. Tomorrow Comes the Harvest è una fusione sperimentale tra Afrobeat e Techno di Detroit, nata dalla collaborazione tra Tony Allen e Jeff Mills. È un genere ibrido, spesso definito come musica elettronica spirituale o dance music africana/jazz-funk, caratterizzato da lunghe improvvisazioni e un approccio istintivo

Jon Hassell - Music Is Invisible (Pentimento Volume Three), the new album out October 2nd 2026 on Ndeya. Pre-order now on Vinyl & CD → https://ndeya.ffm.to/musicisinvisible
The new single ‘Blue Ba-Ya’ is out now.
Music Is Invisible captures Jon performing as part of a trio with Rick Cox and John von Seggern at St John at Hackney church, London on 23 May 2015, what would prove to be Jon’s final ever live performance. The audio was subsequently carefully edited and mixed by Jeff Rona into something much more than a traditional ‘live album’.
Themes, motifs and riffs from Hassell’s two final albums, Listening To Pictures and Seeing Through Sound, occur throughout these unique, semi-improvised mutations, making this a fitting final volume in the late career renaissance of the Pentimento series.
