NELS CLINE
“Coward”
(Cryptogramophone)

“This record reflects a far-and-wide aesthetic imagination, one that’s been broadening for a long time.”

“Meditative and minimal as these pieces may be, they’re written with rigor. Hear them once, and you might only be lulled, but one more time and you’ll hear the purpose and symmetry.”

“. . .much of this record strikes a similar tone: it sounds like both an advertisement and an elegy for deep listening.”

BEN RATLIFF
