Those Days

Those Days (feat. Leah Yeger)

The lead single from the next instalment of the best-selling Mr Bongo Record Club compilation series.

When one of our most revered artists offered us the chance to include an exclusive track we of course jumped at the chance. As expected, what we received blew us away and we knew it had to be the lead single from the compilation. 

Hearing the Swedish outfit Sven Wunder for the first time is as refreshing as an ice-cold Limoncello after an Italian meal. One of those artists that feel instantly familiar like an old friend, yet simultaneously fresh and new. Having released three stunning albums adored by a rapidly growing fanbase, and a host of critical acclaim from the likes of the New York Times, Pitchfork and the Quietus to name just a few, the expectation of what is to come next from this wonderfully unique artist is palpable. 

Mosaic' — conceived for Mr Bongo Record Club Vol.5 — merges jazz and rock, by building a detailed pattern garnished by regular and irregular pieces containing guzheng (also known as the Chinese zither), baroque harpsichord and driving drums all framed and contrasted by lush strings, brass and woodwind. The result stands in some way between Wabi Sabi (2020) and Natura Morta (2021), a perfect exploration point for a unique sound that appeals to both psych and prog listeners, folk or jazz aficionados and as well the gourmet hip hop connoisseurs.

Sven Wunder - Mosaic

Long Life

Open Air

Nouveau chapitre du collectif Collective of Sound, réalisé et produit par N’zo Killan au Studio N’zo Habay, Between Words Sessions explore la frontière subtile entre le langage, le silence et la musique.

Douze compositions originales — prolongées de deux bonus remixs — tissent un univers jazz, soul et électronique où les voix, les instruments et les textures se répondent comme des fragments de conversations nocturnes.

Enregistré entre la France et la Belgique, l’album mêle la chaleur du lounge jazz à la sophistication d’une production contemporaine : saxophone, Rhodes, contrebasse, blues harp et percussions feutrées s’y fondent dans une atmosphère urbaine, cinématique et intime.

Le saxophone, fil conducteur de ce voyage, est confié à Théo Marenne, musicien discret, membre actif du Collective Of Sound et figure récurrente des productions du Studio N’zo Habay, dont le jeu feutré et mélancolique relie les morceaux comme une voix parallèle — celle qu’on entend entre les mots.

Un voyage sonore entre Paris, Lisbonne et qui se termine à Montmartre, où chaque note semble raconter ce qui se dit quand tout se tait.
