Our Take

Prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the ethereal world of John Blek with his latest album "On Ether & Air." This Irish singer-songwriter has crafted a collection of tracks that soar, dip, and twirl like a graceful figure skater on a frozen lake.

Opening with the dreamy title track, Blek immediately sets the tone for the album with his emotive vocals and intricate guitar work. Each song on this record feels like a delicate thread in a beautifully woven tapestry, with captivating melodies and thought-provoking lyrics that will linger in your mind long after the music has stopped.

Tracks like "The Body" and "The Island" showcase Blek's ability to blend folk and indie influences effortlessly, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. His storytelling prowess shines through, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and everything in between.

But it's not all cloudy skies and melancholy musings on "On Ether & Air." Blek injects a healthy dose of playfulness into tracks like "The Blackwater" and "Carolina" that will have you tapping your feet and grinning from ear to ear.

Overall, "On Ether & Air" is a masterclass in songwriting and musicianship that cements John Blek's status as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So sit back, relax, and let the music carry you away on a magic carpet ride of emotions and melodies.
