Our Take

Elliot Galvin truly proves himself to be a modern-day musical magician on his latest album, "Modern Music." This insanely talented pianist and composer takes listeners on a wild sonic adventure that defies genre boundaries and expectations.

From the moment the album kicks off with the frenetic energy of "Chirpy," Galvin's musical prowess is on full display. His innovative use of electronic sounds and effects adds a futuristic twist to traditional jazz elements, creating a sound that is both fresh and exciting.

Tracks like "Fizzy Milk" and "Glumphing" showcase Galvin's knack for blending complex melodies with off-kilter rhythms, resulting in music that is as unpredictable as it is enjoyable. The use of unconventional instruments like the theremin and melodica only adds to the album's quirky charm.

But don't let the whimsical titles fool you – there is a depth and complexity to Galvin's compositions that demand repeated listens. The haunting beauty of "The Last Movie" and the melancholic longing of "Monster Mind" reveal a sensitivity and emotional depth that is truly captivating.

In a musical landscape that often feels stale and uninspired, Elliot Galvin stands out as a true original. "Modern Music" is a testament to his fearless creativity and boundless imagination. Don't sleep on this album – it's a must-listen for anyone who craves music that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo.
