Elodie - Traces Ephémères

Elodie
Echos Pastoraux
La Scie Dorée
Belgium, 2020
LP

Restrained, jazz-scented minimalist impressions dissolving into air. It’s hard to avoid the word “elusive” when talking about the music of Elodie, the duo of Andrew Chalk and Timo van Luijk: a passing thought, a curl of smoke, a word that was almost on the tip of your tongue. I keep replaying this one to try to catch its magic; failing yields new pleasures every time.
