Reflections by Llarks

Llarks new album Reflections (the 2nd for Lamour, 3rd overall) features extended use of guitar-orchestrations, micropolyphony, holy minimalism, and ghost-piano. It is a delicate and patient album focusing on gentle transitions of tone colors, unfolding atmospherics, and a quiet sense of nostalgia.

Vital Weekly said [...] Peaceful, singing, ringing and sustaining, humming misty chords of pastoral quietness. You can easily refer to the more ambient side of Fennesz, or William Basinski, or Stephan Mathieu, although perhaps Llarks keeps his music much more condensed than any of those drone miesters, even when he can go up to ten minutes. Llarks plays music of refined, simply, haunting beauty. He should be doing CDs for some of the better-known outlets!

Reflections is the third album from Llarks, the ambient/noise project of artist/producer Christopher Llarks. The eight tracks see guitar, loops, noise, piano and trumpet, all of which is subtly changed to take on an orchestral persona and an atmospheric presence. Sparse, deep and ethereal, the music is experienced in a visceral way, engulfing rather than consciously engaging. Shades vary from bright to dark, transporting mood and musical demeanor through sensual glades of sonic grass. A definite must have.
