Recumbent Speech, by Ezra Feinberg

Recumbent Speech

by Ezra Feinberg

supported by

David Durand Fantastic instrumental music. Favorite track: Acquainted with the Night.

Stephen Carradini A brilliant instrumental record that charts its own course. The mostly-peaceful songs dance around the edges of folk, ambient, deep listening, new age, neo-classical, post-rock, and prog without putting both feet firmly anywhere. Favorite track: Acquainted with the Night.

johnnypaddock This is incredible... Gorgeous playing throughout, with a tranquil, uplifting feeling. Everything comes together perfectly. I've been listening to this on repeat. Favorite track: Recumbent Speech.

Admo A world unto itself. Feinberg's sonic vistas are meticulous while always feeling free, anchored in disciplined musicianship while also reaching for the unnameable and unteachable. Favorite track: Acquainted with the Night.

about

"These six songs are unified by their slow-building serenity and enveloping atmosphere, maintaining a singular mood while Feinberg jumps between genres and influences. Minimalist classical explorations sit beside campfire folk strumming; ambient synths give way to nimble fusion...For all his crate-digging tendencies, Feinberg returns again and again to a simple goal: to soothe our worries and guide us somewhere better." - Pitchfork

"Like a lost ECM release from the late ’70s or early ’80s, each song displays an attention to space and the desire for clarity of presentation. It’s a true “headphone album,” filled with pristine touches...Recumbent Speech feels like a record you should have heard years ago. Luckily, it’s here right on time." - Aquarium Drunkard

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
