Welcome back to musikprotokoll: the Trapist trio presents another new record. A number of aesthetic cornerstones have become apparent since “Highway My Friend” exactly ten years ago. This is illustrated by the use of two pieces, for example: the tension between “FM” (perhaps from the initials of Morton Feldman) and the composition “Mine Was The Shoulder You Cried On That Day” (certainly after a lyric by Richard Thompson) which demonstrates the band’s grandiose calm and intensity. Fine filters, self-supporting structure, variable thought memories. As fragile, abstracted and chamber-musical as the music may be, the musical history of the guitar, bass and percussion trio remains palpable.
