Cause for some excitement we're sure you'll agree, this
digital-only single is the first indication of what's to be
expected from Christian Fennesz's new album (titled Black
Sea). The beginnings of Saffron Revolution suggests that the
core components of that singular, instantly identifiable
Fennesz sound are all still very much in place: the digitally
pulverised guitar melodies, the banks of sculpted fuzztones
and most of all, the feeling of fluidity and weightlessness
that seems to have defined all his post-Endless Summer output.
There's so much depth to the production here, and despite
sounding so alien and otherworldly, the various layers of
instrumentation make for a piece of music that's got plenty of
substance. The track seems to swell up to a near-overwhelming
point of crescendo, all driven by a barrage of synth strings
that sound more like a jet engine at full thrust than anything
else. So it's neither a major departure from what's come
before, nor a piece of music that screams 'single' in any
conventional sense, but the sheer beauty and power of Saffron
Revolution's sound design suggests Black Sea is very much on
course for being one of 2008's key releases. Immense.
