Celestial Bodies, by Mourning [A] BLKstar

Celestial Bodies

by Mourning [A] BLKstar

supported by

Gavin Hellyer A record that is equal parts deep, tender and loving with staggeringly proficient and immaculate production, musicianship and vocalising. For my money the best album released so far this year, by some considerable distance. Favorite track: Agni.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
