John Butcher - Bell Trove Spools
Review by David Pilard
John Butcher's album Bell Trove Spools is a masterful exploration of sound and texture. With his signature saxophone style, Butcher weaves together a complex tapestry of sound that is both challenging and beautiful.
The album's opening track, "Bell Trove," is a haunting and atmospheric piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The saxophone lines are delicate and intricate, and the use of electronic effects adds an otherworldly quality to the music.
Throughout the album, Butcher showcases his impressive range as a musician. Tracks like "Spools" and "Sonic Shadows" are more experimental, with Butcher pushing the limits of what is possible with his instrument.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Plume," which features Butcher's saxophone playing in tandem with the beautiful vocals of Sofia Jernberg. The combination of the two creates a mesmerizing and ethereal sound that is truly captivating.
