A departure perhaps from the usual kinds of sounds Erik Truffaz is noted for, this excellent, moody, in parts almost cinematic set will appeal to those looking for something a little more leftfield. Truffaz’s muted trumpet works well on the slow burn opening title track with its (perhaps unsurprisingly) Central American feel building to a dramatic conclusion. The band excel at producing a hypnotic, almost ‘trippy’ kind of atmosphere across the whole record: it would be hard to single out highlights on a set meant to be experienced from start to finish, though listen out for the bass lines on the funky “Mr K” and the swirling organ on the emphatic ‘African Mist’. Give it a few spins and it’ll stay with you for a while.
