More space-age neo-soul loveliness from the LA-based trio Moonchild, whose third album brings harps and strings to a sort of musical dialogue between nature, the cosmos and human endeavour.
As one might expect of a band who have toured with the likes of Stevie Wonder and Jill Scott, and whose supporters include Robert Glasper and Laura Mvula, there is much here to like: dreamy first single Cure layers Amber Navran’s ethereal vocals over supple, laid-back instrumentation from Max Bryk and Andris Mattson.
Now and Then gives a pulsing heartbeat to off-kilter analogue synths and psychedelic chimes and bells; the juddering title track, an instrumental, samples bird song and the tumble of a waterfall inside Yosemite National Park.
Delicious.
