SonVer - Luz del Abyss
Album Review

SonVer – Luz del Abyss

I first came across SonVer one Monday evening at Leicester Square’s Café De Paris where they played accompanying music to a couple of Arial performers dangling and spinning in the club air. The music they played (Ebusus) was taken from this new album and worked wonders with the visual display. Apparently providing backing music at festivals and assorted shows is something they dabble in as well as their own shows (They were even on the bill at this year’s latitude festival).

The opening of this seven track delight is “Roads” which elongates and tantalises for what is to come throughout the rest of the material. There is eventual drum rolls, echoed and distorted guitar work, and sumptuous cello work throughout.

Each member is given their moment to shine, but ultimately come together as a whole quartet of the electronic world meeting the orchestral. There is also a fine split between orchestral composition and electric ambient experimenta.
Ebusus is easily the albums highlight
The guitar work is something akin to what the likes of composer Elliot Goldenthal has sometimes provided us with in his film scores (See Michael Mann’s heat for a direct reference). The music is telling and built on emotional landscapes.

A pure ride of ambience from these four musicians that thrills and lifts the senses like the best of music can.
