Oren Ambarchi Australia
Oren Ambarchi is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with longstanding interests in transcending conventional instrumental approaches. His work focuses mainly on the exploration of the guitar, "re-routing the instrument into a zone of alien abstraction where it’s no longer easily identifiable as itself. Instead, it’s a laboratory for extended sonic investigation". (The Wire, UK). ... more

steady grooves with the sax of josh johnson dancing all over it. and when he takes a break, jeff slides in with something interesting. anna is a rock keeping everything together. the drumming is just perfect. listening to this enhances my life... i work to this, i drive to this, and i play it in shared spaces.

I thought Bleed was very good, but not great. Disquiet, however, is greatness. An album of this length is risky, but it works as three disks individually, and as a three hour whole. Rapid Eye Movement and Ghost Net are equally propelling in completely different ways. Causeway is utterly beautiful from the opening notes, and sublimely shocking when the drums finally join in. Warm Running Sunlight seems to suspend time. Disquiet could be even longer if it wanted to. This is my #5 album of 2025.

I am entranced by this band's output. So very excited to get this new album, just in time for a bleak winter season.

You'd think that the statement "this is the work of amazing musicians playing together" should apply to everything that I choose to listen to, but I still feel the need to emphasize it here. Four songs, 17-21 minutes each, and every moment is alive with intensity, filled with atmosphere, shrouded with energy that pulls you forward even in the most repetitive or simplistic moments. Travel is dramatic, in the calmest, coolest way, and it is very good.
