Then Simin Tander starts to sing, slow and deep, in Southern Pashto that yields to microtonal flutters: \u201cMeena\u201d, based on a 17th-century poem by Rahman Baba, celebrates surrender to love. The language is a nod to her late father, an Afghan who relocated to Germany, where Tander grew up. Other songs on the album also mingle English, Italian and Norwegian.\u201cWoken Dream\u201d, which follows, begins with the languid phrase, \u201ctouching the air with your skin\/words unspoken\u201d amid prickling high notes from bassist Bj\u00f6rn Meyer \u2014 previously a driving presence in Nik B\u00e4rtsch\u2019s Zen-funk band Ronin but here more contemplative. Tander\u2019s vocals slip in and out, now chorusing polyphonically, now whispering.There is an Italian song from 1900, \u201cI Te Vurria Vas\u00e0\u201d, in which the narrator sings of impossible love as Harpreet Bansal\u2019s violin weeps at the top of its register. The song is autobiographical: its lyricist, Vincenzo Russo, was the impoverished son of a cobbler whose love for an upper-class Neapolitan was thwarted by her parents. The melody recurs in a later interlude in distorted form, with knocks and shivers of percussion from Samuel Rohrer, as if a fragment of half-remembered history.Mayer\u2019s bass is to the fore on the 16th-century Spanish song \u201cAy Linda Amiga\u201d and in skittering form on \u201cNursling of the Sky\u201d, a setting of Shelley\u2019s poem \u201cThe Cloud\u201d that builds in intensity amid abrupt yelps. The Norwegian hymn \u201cJesus, Gj\u00f8r Meg Stille\u201d provides the basis for \u201cMy Weary Heart\u201d, which builds from low howls from Rohrer and Meyer to a thundering drum-and-violin climax with Tander yodelling and keening. The title track, which closes the album, swells with moody, acoustic chords and Tander singing in a close murmur.\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2018The Wind\u2019 is released by Jazzland Recordings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
