Ambarchi, Oren / Johan Berthling / Andreas Werliin - Ghosted Iii

Ambarchi, Berthling and Werliin are back, a little looser and wilder than before. Their ability to lock in and focus on the smallest of details is enhanced here by a sense of increased immediacy. Great news for fans of stimulating variations of tone and mood within a potentially infinite universe of rhythm and sound! The more you listen to 'Ghosted III', the better your hearing becomes. Or maybe it’s just that you hear more every time you play it. Such potentially polar skill sets could well make for uneven chemistry — but in the hands of these three, a sparkling variety of new jams occurs. They seem to be available to try anything these days, at times playing with the exuberance of prog-rockers or new-wave popsters, alongside the eternal energies of their established styles: ambient neo-jazz, post-kraut, minimal funk. In the end, their shared instinct shapes the varied emissions into structure reaching ever further into the ether — giving 'Ghosted III' a singular quality belonging only to the trio that is Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin.
