Some call them Chamber Jazz, some Modern Classical - I dunno. What I DO know is that I love listening to these guys - and girls! Wonderful music.
Penguin Café - I've had The Imperfect Sea on repeat over a couple of days (not incessantly, but when there's been the time to hear and absorb it) and it's brilliant IMHO. Difficult to describe other than as instrumental, engaging, I guess Chamber Jazz is close - they do what I really like which is to paint scenery, and scenarios with their music. I have yet to purchase Handfuls of Night, which I will do - listening to that one on Spotify. Wrote a whole lot about it here, which I won't repeat - https://www.music-discussion.com/showthr...#pid137785 .
My opinion of the album stands, and to my surprise (at my own consistency, lol!) I'd probably have chosen the same track to link, but I think I'll go with something different - just listen to that incredible double bass ... and the cello - OMG - stringed things ...
