Our Take

Alabaster DePlume's latest album, "A Blade Because a Blade Is Whole," is a whimsical journey through avant-garde jazz and spoken word poetry that will leave you simultaneously scratching your head and tapping your feet. DePlume's distinctive style, with its blend of off-kilter melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, is a breath of fresh air in a sometimes stale music scene. The album kicks off with the track "Visit Croatia," a mesmerising mix of saxophone and spoken word that sets the tone for the rest of the record. DePlume's unusual vocal delivery is a highlight throughout, with his quirky phrasing and distinctive tone giving each track a unique edge. Standout tracks include "Whisky Story Time" and "Failed Dream Land," both of which showcase DePlume's ability to craft intricate, layered compositions that keep the listener engaged from start to finish. The album's production, which blends live instrumentation with electronic elements, adds an extra layer of depth to the music. While "A Blade Because a Blade Is Whole" may not be for everyone, those willing to step outside their musical comfort zone will find a rewarding and engaging listening experience. Alabaster DePlume has once again proven himself to be a true innovator in the world of experimental music, and this album is a testament to his unique vision and talent.
