I hunted around Adelaide the other day for Jonny Greenwood’s solo work, Bodysong and sure enough, the last place I went, I found it.
What can I say first about this gem. It’s relentless, it’s art, it’s a story. A story of life, to the point of mortality. The opening track Moon Trills is birth, happy and instrumental -filled with light. It’s capped with Tehellet a sad sad string piece that has influenced of The Tourist -one of Greenwood’s works from Radiohead.
Every base is covered in between. Every instrument you can think of, and genre is performed. I hear mutterings of Miles Davis, Pink Floyd and The Beatles.
It’s a winner. I knew all along it would be.
