Produced by the legendary Joe Boyd (Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake. R.E.M.) with co-producers Edit Pula and Andrea Goertler, and vividly recorded by Grammy winning engineer Jerry Boys (Buena Vista Social Club) - this is a beautifully conceived collection. Saz'iso - an eight musician ensemble from the isolated mountain regions of Southern Albania - create haunting sounds and songs that navigate a rich musical tradition. While there are traces of more well-known Balkan idioms in their repertoire, encountering the powerful moods of this earthy, long-hidden music ends up feeling like a revelation. Gorgeous, spirited and deeply moving.
