Like many other artists, the duo Glass Museum postponed the release of its new album, originally scheduled for March 27th, due to the pandemic of Covid-19. Unfortunately we are still not out of the crisis... but here is finally 'Reykjavik'! With 'Reykjavik', Glass Museum returns with a second album whose authentic musical identity takes a seat at the table of contemporary jazz. Cinematic, electronic, and organic, the record combines dusky melodies with vibrant rhythms. A ray of light through the night.
For drummer Martin Grégoire, this record was a matter of 'returning to the roots of a more effusive music,' melancholy but intensely alive—beating, even. Cinematic, too. So just as when the track 'Nimbus' calls for alpine landscapes, the song 'Abyss' has whales singing underwater. A real breath of fresh air that offers us a feeling of travel and lightness from our respective places of confinement with the clips of Abyss or Clothing.
