Emmett Elvin - The End Of Music (2019)

Emmett Elvin - The End Of Music (2019)

BAND/ARTIST: Emmett Elvin

Emmett Elvin is an Eclectic Prog multi-instrumentalist from the United Kingdom who started releasing solo albums in 2013. He released his fourth full length studio album in August of 2019 called "The End of Music". Emmett has played most of the instruments on his album, but he also usually recruits several musicians to help him out. "The End of Music" is no exception in that it sees him providing guitars, bass, piano (acoustic and electric), synths, recorders, various percussion objects, vox and etc. He is joined by Alex Thomas who plays drums and percussion, and Sarah Anderson who plays violin and viola. This album has 12 tracks and a total run time of over 59 minutes.

This album is simply amazing. One of the best things I have heard this year. It is all quite amazing how the instrumentation is all laid out on this album to almost sound like a modern day orchestra with rock instruments and modern day looping and effects. The layers here all work together beautifully, and even the processed vocals are not annoying at all, but fit the entire dream-like feeling perfectly. The music is lush, harmonic, and at times straightforward and direct. It utilizes these textures quite well, moving from one to the other with ease. Dynamics are also well used here, things can be pensive and lovely and suddenly increase in tension and even playfulness instantly, yet all sound so cohesive. The music is brilliantly composed, with every sound well placed in the entire scheme of things. I simply love this sound and rate it as an essential album that I think needs to be heard among the many releases of the year. I find it impossible to describe this music as it is fresh and exciting, unique and wonderful. A masterpiece! Easily 5 stars and one of the best of the year!
