On sale -20%Michael League and Bill Laurance, pillars within the ‘fusion’ big band Snarky Puppy, have released a surprising duo album, Where You Wish You Were. This release gives light to the most intimate parts of their musical worlds and to the artistry and friendship that has united them for all these years. In keeping with his last solo album, Affinity (in which he abandoned the synthesisers and created elegant, entirely acoustic pieces), Bill Laurance takes to the traditional piano here, drawing inspiration from both new music and the classical world.
Michael League adds an array of instruments to this acoustic foundation: from the oud to the fretless acoustic guitar, not to mention the baritone electric guitar and the ngoni. His sound explores the oriental and Mediterranean, and he allows this to develop fully over this new release. Through personal, original compositions full of beautiful melodies, the two men invent a type of music that’s atmospheric, lyrical, journeyed and nuanced in the way it combines tones and textures. With its clear discourse and frank, shimmering harmonies, this stunning album remains accessible despite its experimental sound. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz
