Here is a strikingly different album from Tord Gustavsen at the head of a reconfigured band. Into the group come two Norwegian improvisers, bassist Mats Eilertsen and saxophonist Tore Brunborg. Inside the ensemble new aspects of interactive possibility open up as duo, trio and quartet instrumental combinations explore the space inside Tord’s compositions - his gospel-inflected hymns and lullabies and ballads and his pulsing, almost minimalistic grooves. Six tracks also include the voice of Kristin Asbjørnsen. She wraps her bluesy phrasing huskily around the poetry of WH Auden on “Lay Your Sleeping Head, My Love”, “Restored, Returned”, “Wrapped in a Yielding Air” and “O Stand, Stand At The Window”, and vocalizes wordlessly on three takes of Gustavsen’s “Left Over Lullaby”, threaded through the album as a structural element.
