Our Take
Our Take
Julian Lage's latest offering, "As It Were", is a whimsical journey through the world of jazz that will have you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. The album is a kaleidoscope of complex harmonies and intricate melodies, with Lage's virtuosic guitar playing at the forefront.
From the opening track, "Fortune Teller", it's clear that Lage is not content to simply rest on his laurels. He weaves in elements of rock, folk, and even a touch of classical music, creating a sonic tapestry that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.
Tracks like "Supera" showcase Lage's technical prowess, with lightning-fast runs and dizzying chord changes that will leave even the most seasoned musicians scratching their heads in amazement. But it's not all about technical wizardry – songs like "Splendor Riot" and "Trudgin'" bring a sense of intimacy and warmth to the album, showing off Lage's ability to tell a story with nothing but his guitar.
Overall, "As It Were" is a testament to Lage's skill as a musician and composer. It's an album that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. So sit back, relax, and let Julian Lage take you on a musical journey unlike any other. You won't regret it.
