No Longer, Not Yet
Carton, 2025
9/10
This sophomore album from Italy’s She’s Analog treats us to 6 tracks of creative and improvised jazz sounds from 3 very exploratory minds.
“Tingle” starts the adventure with close attention to mood, as Giovanni Iacovella’s frisky drums and Stefano Calderano’s radiant guitar are used strategically, and “Narrow Pass” follows with waves of beauty thanks to the warm guitar, light drums and dreamy backdrop.
“Danse Macabre” and “Slow, Kick” land in the middle. The former carries an atypical rhythm that’s pretty and cinematic, while the latter benefits from Luca Sguera’s unpredictable keys that help cultivate a mood of mystery.
“Blu” exits, and it’s 18+ minutes of percussively strong bouts, light guitar, ethereal ebbs and a rare intimacy that’s reflective and sonically chilling.
Somewhere between jazz, post-rock, minimalism and electronica, every moment here is of intrigue and fascination.
Travels well with: Parquet- Sparkles & Mud; No Tongues- Ici
