Masterly melancholy and heartfelt warmth inscribed Murder
The duo Murder has this Saturday afternoon grown to be a wonderful dizzy quintet where the musical expression has been added with a whirling cello, a rolling double-bas and a blurred electric guitar as sonorous as possible.
It is glaringly beautiful and confoundedly convincing. The beauty of the album is unfolding in wonderful live sessions like this, and it is not near a cliché when it becomes a reality that Murder fully masters the amalgamation of chilly melancholy and attentive warmth.
Jacob Bellens’ incomparable dusty yet sober vocal thoroughly matches the calm, thoughtful, honestly founded and wistful calibre of the music and the lyrics.
The set is for the most part composed of songs from last years’ magnificent charming album “Stockholm Syndrome” and the climaxes are standing in line. Brilliant.
