Gnaarf - Gray Lines & Black Signs (2021) Hi-Res

"When they play along it has that smokey nightclub atmosphere that makes me want to reach out for my pipe and a glass of brandy (a bit early in the day for both), but also without, as in 'Out Of Mind, Into The Night', there is some fine laidback keyboard playing. When the guitar becomes a dominant feature, the element of distortion slips in ('Bloomed To Wither'), which sort of breaks with the film noir atmosphere. In all of these pieces, the tempo is rather slow and the overall sound approach is atmospheric. There is again that strange approach in sound that makes all of this not very standard, which alien element makes this for me all the more enjoyable. In some ways, this reminded me of the great LP by A Tent from 1981, but in some ways not at all." - Vital Weekly

"Dark backgrounds and harsh electronics combine with jazzy improvisations played on guitars, pianos, saxophones and other instruments to create a surreal experience. An experience that is still jazzy enough to drink a gin and tonic to while also strange enough to keep you guessing." - On the Fringes of Sound
