Sacrobosco - IVXVI (2023)

An arresting album of electronic music from Italian producer Giacomo Giunchedi. The album is sprinkled with samples from some of the greats of Spiritual Jazz including Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. The single ‘Faint’ begins with a looped female choir that is hypnotic to listen to and reminds me of Julianna Barwick while the music has echoes of The Cinematic Orchestra and DJ Shadow. ‘Hashimoto’ meanwhile sounds like a Japanese Garden grown by AI and is disturbing in its repetition. An interesting album of cool ambience that will appeal to many but won’t be to everyone’s taste!
