Smoke Notes

Raz was inspired by some of the folk and gypsy‐style music that he was hearing at small festivals outside Berlin, music that wasn’t expressly clubby but which nonetheless enchanted and entranced people – and made them dance, made them jump for joy. Raz journeyed deeper into the woods and set about exploring the full range and dynamics of his voice, developing a more organic, expressive and plain joyful style of singing. “II” is certainly less melancholic than its predecessor – it’s imbued with good feeling, energised by the rhythms and cadences of summer and the great outdoors ‐ but it’s not euphoric; there is an underlying note of caution, of trepidation. This emotional mix is what makes the record so powerful, especially when allied to a similarly ambiguous musical mix: one which imperceptibly melds folk, classic pop, electroacoustic experimentation and modernist electronics.
