Woodwind Multiples

Clear vinyl. Here’s something to get very excited about – a legendary musician in the avant garde world meeting, and not for the first time, one of the finest labels that dares to tread. New York composer Mary Jane Leach has been synonymous with experimental tones since she first pulled up a pew and began to play back in the 1970s. Soon taking her tones the world, this innate talent eventually led her to Manchester’s Modern Love, an imprint several years her junior but launched with a similar purpose
Here joined by oboes, clarinets, and bassoons played by Manuel Zurria, Libby Van Cleve, Sam Dunscombe, and Shannon Peet, Woodwind Multiples is a jarringly to the point, it-is-what-it-is name for a record that feels so otherworldly. Steeped in moods, from the uneasy and tense to awakenings and new life, the result is something to behold
