Jake Muir & Evan Caminiti – Talisman

Kali Malone is also cool because she doesn’t have to emphasise how unconventional her approach actually is for press releases. Something one can somewhat resent Jake Muir and Evan Caminiti for in the rather sniffy lead-up to »Talisman«. Yet »Talisman« is a completely normal, totally good ambient record that also draws its influences from doom and jazz, but admittedly isn’t the radical statement that breaks away from all droning complaisance. Great opening and closing tracks, though, that needs to be noted.
