Album: Spiro, Kaleidophonica (Real World)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A second Real World album by this idiosyncratic quartet: fiddle, mandolin, guitar and accordion expressing a sort of dramatic tension between the poles of traditional English music and minimalist classicism – a faintly mathematical matrix of textures, lines and tonality. All very enthralling for as long as the system maintains its grip.
That the grip slips a little more readily on this album than on its predecessor may have to do with that fact that it is more carefully, perhaps mindfully, "composed".
