"Veneer" by José Gonzáles who is, surprisingly, Swedish albeit born of Argentinian parents. Excellent Indie Folk.
AMG says "Veneer is a striking collection of hushed and autumnal indie pop bedroom songs"
Funny that you mention him. I make my shows weeks ahead of their broadcast and tomorrow night I mention his Swedish/Argentinian background after playing some of his music. Fine performer.
Oh yes this is ticking a lot of boxes. Thanks for the heads up! Do you know the previous albums?
A few of the album covers look familiar, especially "Orakel," so I'm sure I crossed paths with them at some time previously, but none that strike up any vague memories of like/don't like.
However, I'm very much enjoying his other new release, with the Orkester Omnitonal ensemble.

I thought I recognised that cover but when I listen it's more of a generic big band sound, not what I need just now. OTOH this album features our man in a different setting, think I'll plop some cash down for this one and the original one you posted. Contrabass clarinet and marimba is hard to beat!
I’ll have to check that out. I can use it in the Nov. 8 show. Oct. 18 has no theme. Oct. 25 is spoken word for the Southwest Word Fiesta festival that happens for three days in Silver and Nov 1 is for Dia de Muertos celebrations.
As is this new release of fantastic old unreleased music. Also on Canary Records. Compositions by Messiaen and Milhaud.
An interesting story that Jeanne Loriod was the sister-in-law of famous composer Olivier Messiaen and the foremost proponent of the early electronic musical instrument, the ondes Martenot.

Yes I read that, think I already knew in fact, but what with my memory for names I couldn't recall how well known it was. Wonderful instrument obviously. How these recording were "lost" just goes to prove something or other ;-)
“Escalator Over The Hill” by Carla Bley and Paul Haines
Quoting Wikipedia “Escalator over the Hill (or EOTH) is mostly referred to as a jazzopera, but it was released as a "chronotransduction", with "words by Paul Haines, adaptation and music by Carla Bley……….performed by the Jazz Composer's Orchestra.”
Interestingly, musicians who played on this 1971 album included Jack Bruce, John McLaughlin, Gato Barbieri and Don Cherry. Vocalists included Linda Ronstadt, Paul Jones and Jack Bruce.
In a 2011 Carla Bley biography by Amy C. Beal writes: “All dimensions of Escalator Over the Hill are extravagant. The long (a triple album, nearly two hours) stylistically eclectic work fuses singers and players from all over the musical map – 53 individuals participated in the recording, including some of the most productive and original jazz and rock musicians working at the time. . . . The work as a whole seems simultaneously to assimilate and annihilate rock gestures, jazz harmonies, and classical structures. By nature of its absolute autonomy, Escalator Over the Hill also seems to thumb its nose at all musical authorities and institutions, particularly the recording industry. In this sense, it is perhaps the quintessential anti-establishment statement of its time.”
