Noord

by Sjors Mans

supported by

Ambientologist ...The vulnerable centre of this soul-baring release has to be ‘Without You’: a mournfully resigned lament, resonating with intimate longing, through every dynamic expression and every creak of the piano. As gentle as it is, it's this intimacy that has the power to hold the listener in their tracks, awaiting each phrase with bated breath.

about

Sjors Mans returns with 'Noord', his first solo release in two years and his second appearance on piano and coffee records after his celebrated collaboration with Klangriket, 'The Amsterdam Sessions'.

'Noord' was born out of the need to simply create while enjoying the process without overthinking or criticizing too much. Its six pieces alternate between soft melancholic piano melodies, intense synth sequences and captivating ambient textures, accompanied by the beautifully evocative trumpet of Mans’ longtime collaborator Fabian Rosenberg. 'Noord' is easiness and freedom, a process of musical rediscovery. It is going back home.

Composed, performed and mixed by Sjors Mans.
Trumpet by Fabian Rosenberg.
Mastered at Vector Amsterdam.

Artwork by Jordan Amy Lee.

I'm on my third listen and this album has real depth. Different passages keep leaping out at me, but I like the way it maintains a characteristic tone while being full of melodic, rhythmic and modal variety and even surprise. Really good. I wish I'd bought the CD. Peter Mason
