Returning from an evening yoga session I put this on, then read a review of a new translation of the works of St Julian of Norwich. it’s how I live life these days and this music all seemed very appropriate.
I do get sent some interesting records. Lets say first off that this 10” mini Lp is not something that by rights should be reviewed on a website called the Rock Club but, we are all very broadminded here.
It’s beautiful and relaxing yet interesting, and of high quality. The genesis is intriguing, it seems that Canadian singer/trombonist Doug Tielli and British pianist Adam Hibberd met at something called the Tin in the fine city of Coventry, where Adam was playing, and Doug was on tour. They hit it off, and had just 3 days to record together before moving on. Each brought 3 pieces to the mix, and they also brought in Sarah Laughton on clarinet.
My only complaint would be that some people reading this might expect someone called Superheroes Dream to be at least a rock band…but when you are in the right mood, reading that art mag in the bath, maybe this is what you really need.
