Moritz von Oswald Trio, Heinrich Köbberling & Laurel Halo - Dissent: Chapter 1 - 10 (2021) [Hi-Res]

Is there anything MVOT touch that isn't pure gold? Always pretty out there, always precise but loose, organic and evolving, while it's not clear what the Dissent in the title refers to - the 'Preface' suggests madness but the rest of the album alludes to some sort of mystery setting - it's an immersive experience that you'll find difficult to leave once the sounds begin to unfurl.

Arriving on the contemporary classical, jazz and electronic imprint Modern Recordings, the record has certainly found the perfect label as home. Enlisting jazz drummer Heinrich Kobberling and electronic visionary Laurel Halo to realise the contents, for want of a less reductive phrase the results are simply 'cool as fuck'. Like the lost score to one of Jean Luc Godard's early movies, or the night out in Paris you wish you could have.
