Perhaps most at home beside work from Bill Frisell, Eiko Ishibashi, ECM Records, or the Louisville experimental chamber group Rachel's, Ease the Work shows us life on the boundary of composition and improvisation. It reaches for the sweeping gestures and inspired pacing of classic film scores, Frank Sinatra ballads, and Scott Walker's pop orchestra. It also retains the arresting intimacy of the band's early work. Strings swell and harmonize in counterpoint with electric guitar, clarinet, and piano, while drums, synth pads, and field recordings complete the aural world.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455109124481,"sku":"2249237","price":32.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0644110492913.jpg?v=1751686800","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2249237","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
