Malheur - Carolyn Hume

For nearly 10 years pianist Hume has made an amazing series of albums full of catchy, attractively melancholy and film-friendly tunes for Leo Records, normally a feisty free-jazz label.

Unfortunately, almost no one has noticed. This latest chapter could change that, as Hume has expanded her musical means to include cellist Oliver Coates and vocalist Sonja Galsworthy, creating intimate yet dramatic music – sort of Erik Satie meets David Sylvian round at Nick Drake's place – that works either listened to attentively or as superior audio wallpaper.
