Space 1.8 ⭐Nala Sinephro

“Nala Sinephro’s debut album is a miracle to behold. Swirling soft ambient synth work with delicate saxophone and harp work, it is a brilliant and determined album that expands the possibilities of modern jazz music so much further than we could have imagined. Of course an album as groundbreaking as Space 1.8 was released on the legendary Warp records. Like many of the albums to come from that camp, nothing has sounded like it before and will never sound like it in the future. Ambient jazz music like this has never been so secretive, so shadowed, so striking. Songs here range from barely a minute to sweeping, seventeen-minute suites, never letting you in on Nala Sinephro’s secrets. At just 22, it’s immediately clear she will be at the forefront of contemporary experimental and jazz music for years to come.” - lurien, RYM
