Delicate, dreamy, and nostalgic
one of the most captivating recordings of the year.
Hauntingly beautiful
Masterfully intriguing jazz tales
The trio boasts a boundary-leaping style with abundant lyricism, pointillism and contrapuntal movements, showing a masterful control over the flow of their music and its artful transitions.
A beautiful gift to the inquisitive artist, an ode to the dreamers
Bohemian sonatas
Intimate and cinematic
lofty feeling material with a verve that you don’t find in egghead circles
Seamless interplay of unusual sonorities
Malnoia is brimming with cryptic gifts and Delphic designs that manage to fascinate and confound. It’s a record that becomes richer and more meaningful with each and every listen
[...] Something about that transient quality keeps the music a source of constant intrigue, and almost eclipses the album’s cascading beauty.
Beautiful and sad, dreamy, and enchanting, touching, and heartfelt...
Sterk in kleur en concentratie, sfeervol en verfijnd.
Krachtig filmisch met een nostalgisch randje
Een culinaire uitstap die reikt van het zoet melancholische en experimentele, tot het traditionele en bitter tragikomische.
Met ‘Malnoia’ heeft Swart nog net binnen 2017 een van de mooiste platen van dat jaar gemaakt
