Review by Jose Montaldi

Christy Doran's latest album, Harsh Romantics, is a captivating blend of experimental and avant-garde jazz that showcases the Swiss guitarist's unique musical vision. The album features a stellar lineup of musicians, including pianist Hans-Peter Pfammatter, bassist Fabian Gisler, and drummer Lionel Friedli, who all contribute to the album's rich and complex sound.

Throughout the album, Doran's guitar playing is both intricate and emotive, and he seamlessly blends elements of rock, free jazz, and classical music into his compositions. The album's opening track, "Broken Silence," sets the tone with its haunting melodies and atmospheric textures, while tracks like "The Return of the Lost and Found" and "The Lark in the Clear Air" showcase Doran's virtuosic guitar playing.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Last Chance Saloon," a brooding and atmospheric piece that features a stunning piano solo from Pfammatter. The album's closing track, "The Day After," is a beautiful and contemplative piece that brings the album to a satisfying conclusion.
