Razen: Postcards From Hereafter (digital, Important Records, March 2023)

The “postcards” of the title is quite apt here. We have ten tracks, each with something of the feel of a sketch, of modern classical music leaning towards drone. Instrumentwise, this Belgian ensemble have dug up some deep cuts from musical history, featuring (according to the blurb) hurdy gurdy, recorders, chalumeau, violone, the splendidly bonkers looking nyckelharpa, ondes Martenot, and church organ. This is thoughtful music which doesn’t wear it’s heart on its sleeve, but it’s kind of enthralling.

I bought this from Boomkat. They call it Modern Classical / Ambient.
