Scree - August (2025)

 

The second album from this band from USA.

The band was a nine-pieces big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, glockenspiel, bass, guitars, pedal steel guitars, violin, cello, organ, keyboards, clarinet, saxophones, loops and programming.

I reviewed their 2023 debut album Jasmine On A Night In July some days ago and that was a pretty good album. The music was a blend of jazz and post-rock.

August is clocking in at forty-two minutes and we are getting more of the same here.

That means minimalistic jazz with a lot of post-rock influences.

It can in fact be argued that the music here is a blend of jazz and folk-rock. An argument I will make here. 

The music is mostly acoustic with some woodwinds in between the acoustic and half-acoustic guitars. 

The music is very subtle and modest. 

There are some good stuff and some not so good stuff. I am still a bit unsure about this band. Nevertheless, check out this band.
