Gorgeous spacey proggy jazzy electronic layers and textures that would just need a tad more of those jazzy sprinkles to get me on board fully.

A pretty reverie that flows between jazz and (forgive me for the term) electronica with spurts of ambient, piano that occasionally veers Ghibli-esque, and even harp apparently, to create quite a unique, dreamy and introspective experience that evokes the artwork to Coltrane's First Meditations for quartet to me. I have to say I tend to prefer the moments when jazz is part of the mix, and it does disappear for a substantial portion of the mid album. But the music remains lovely and keeps me hooked, except on track 6 which is the only one I got out of and which gets far to beep boopy to my taste. The piano finale on 10 is short lived but gorgeous. A strong album that I probably will jam again when I want to relax and daydream but don't want to commit to a single genre. 3.9

Few can achieve this level of payoff on a nearly ambient jazz project like Nala Sinephro. What an absolutely astounding and gorgeous work.

Only one person could ever reach the same highs that was ?Promises? by electronic producer Floating Points, saxophonist legend ?Phaoah Sanders?, and the ever impressive and evolving ?London Symphony Orchestra?; and that one personal is Nala Sinephro. Nala is a UK based nu jazz musician who has a heavy focus on incorporating modular synthesizer melodies and progressions with sweat and wispy sounding nu jazz saxophone and other musical instruments. ?Endlessness? is a playful exploration of how space ambient undertones and progressions can be the base for a lovely exploration of jazz and synthetic sounds. Everything dances with each other in such a way to really make you feel other worldly. Definitely an album you should check out if you like jazz and electronic being combined for a unique and explorative take.

relentlessly gorgeous. this will certainly receive Floating Points comparisons, unfavorably
so in most cases, but it's a different beast altogether. The unexpected burl of the synths
and attitude of Sinephro's harp develop a secondary layer of anxiety that lends this album's
sound much more depth than what a first, distracted listen might reveal
