Kind Regards
Boomkat Product Review:
Ambarchi and Thielemans' second duo release, 'Kind Regards' is 45 minutes of musical symbiosis, an electrifying single-take session that oozes thru haunted Bark Psychosis/Talk Talk-style hypnogogic jazz towards Alice Coltrane inspired spiritual biz and freeform cosmic psych.
It's hard to believe that Ambarchi and Thielemans were only getting started on 2023's 'Double Consciousness'. The Berlin-based guitar deity and the veteran Belgian improv percussionist had first met when they played in a trio with the great Charlemagne Palestine, and their back-and-forth never really stopped. A slew of performances together gave birth to that first record, and 'Kind Regards' was dubbed in 2023 in Poitiers, France by Joe Talia, who helps capture their raw, unpredictable energy. It helps of course that both players at the top of their respective games; both are used to improvised settings, and they've had enough time at this stage to feel out each other's strengths and weaknesses. And this time it's Thielemans' contribution that stands out at first. His measured, lighter-than-air patter offers an impressive counterweight to Ambarchi's flickering tones, made with the Leslie cabinet's rotating speaker.
Bowing and scratching his strings, Ambarchi pushes weighty organ-like chords from his guitar, and Thielemans restrains himself modestly, responding to Ambarchi's wind tunnel stutters and warbles with the soft power of brushy rushes and resonant tom rolls. This first side is where their relationship makes most sense, building slowly into a 'Spirit of Eden'-cum-'Universal Consciousness' crescendo that doesn't push all-out, it reaches a point of euphoria and hangs there for a moment before easing off into e-bowed, off-tuned moans. On the flip though, they let loose, with Ambarchi creating chaotic 'Electric Counterpoint' chimes that tumble over each other while Thielemans unleashes his improv energy. Mid-way through, Ambarchi switches up, turning his guitar into what might as well be Arthur Russell's cello and following Thielemans's tidal currents with manic, transcendent wails. Heavy duty.
