Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling, & Andreas Werliin – Ghosted II (Drag City)

A free-jazz trio stumbles into mellow lounge / noir / spy movie soundtrack jams, with upright bass & drummer from Fire! Orchestra and ambient/glitchy treated guitar loops from Oren Ambarchi. RIYL Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Hassan Hakmoun, Fripp & Eno. Instrumental, FCC clean

1. (9:32)** fast minimal latin jazz-esque romp, almost merengue with glitchy synth-guitar buzzing
2. (13:15) blissed-out ambient guitar/bass harmonics with sparse congas and brushes
3. (7:36)*** bluesy midpaced strut, like the opening bars of The Wire’s theme song looped endlessly over washed-out guitar ambience
4. (9:42) looping new-agey lounge jazz, whispers of a vaporwave Laraaji remix
