Wandhoff had a specific goal in mind as he pieced together the initial skeletons of ‘When the Air is Bright They Shine’; he was listening to the classic LPs of the late 60s and 70s; 35-40 minutes, 10 tracks, every track perfectly realised and the album holding together without filler.The album opens with ‘A Town Called Ivanhoe’ and we’re already on the right path – the track has the best elements of Jim O’Rourke, Kings of Convenience or Jose Gonzalez, but manage to inject it’s own special Bossa charm which carries across the whole album. Imagine driving along a beach on the West Coast of the USA as the sun is setting and you’ll have some idea of the rich moods captured on this ten track disc.In cynical times like these it has never been more appropriate to deliver an honest album of great music, music that makes you feel good to be alive. ‘When The Air Is Bright They Shine’ is exactly that, and it’s unforgettable sun-drenched moods will take you all the way to paradise and back again.
