60 Best Albums of 2023

Like every year, 2023 was full of incredible music, a mountain of new releases so high that I could never climb it, a weekly firehose of albums, singles, soundcloud, bandcamp, trips to the record shop and adventures in discogs. I can’t keep up, but I try. There will never be enough time in my life to listen to all the brilliant music made in any given year, and that’s kind of amazing to consider.…

46.

Nala Sinephro – Space 1​.​8 (Warp)

Sembra un disco fatto apposta per esemplificare la categoria “ambient jazz” su siti e radio online. O forse è solo jazz per chi non ascolta jazz. Che questo sia un complimento o una specie di insulto, dipende ovviamente dai punti di vista.

Revelators Sound System - Revelators

(Jazz Fusion, Ambient Jazz, Jazz Rock)

The jazz fusion side project of Hiss Golden Messenger frontman M.C. Taylor and bassist Cameron Ralston explores the transcendence and warmth of Taylor's alt-country project through the conduit of jazz experimentation and ambient soundscapes. By forgoing traditional songwriting and structure, the two of them achieve something incredibly immersive and tranquil that is a complete joy to listen to.

☆☆☆☆½

Hearing that M.C. Taylor, the frontman and leader of Virginia alt-country band Hiss Golden Messenger, and producer/bassist Cameron Ralston were releasing a new album together under the name Revelators Sound System was one of the most unexpected and exciting moments I've had musically this year. Taylor's work as Hiss Golden Messenger has always had the occasional soul and jazz hints, saxophones and strings supporting his introspective folk tunes, but thinking of how it might look when he fully commits to that sound was something I couldn't wait to hear in full. Now, with their debut under the name out entitled Revelators, it's clear that this project is searching for things that Hiss Golden Messenger's work could never, something more cosmic and far-reaching, the emotions and stories Taylor's words could never do justice. Revelators is one of his most thoughtful and impressive releases to date, a seabed of woodwinds and dreamy synth pads that utilizes the warmth of 70s psychedelic jazz and rock while keeping a minimalist design that forces the existing elements to push themselves as much as possible. The resulting pieces are some of the best in jazz this year. Using the structural blueprint of funky, avant-garde 70s jazz - think On the Corner, Sextant, Sleeping Beauty - but with the textural learnings of modern ambient and minimalist groups, Revelators sounds like a jazz album found on a tropical planet 700 years in the future, pieces that soundtrack the movements of alien fauna as they swim through murky-green waters and acidic ocean waves. Bolstered by multiple drummers often double-tracked on a piece, the unique instrumental combinations here help give the album wild rhythmic and harmonic qualities: JT Bates, Pinson Chanselle, and Philo Tsoungui running around one another's grooves on the first half of the reverent opener Grieving - imagine CAN meets Miles Davis - that makes for some of the most frantic and explosive musicianship I've seen on any album this year, while Stuart Bogie and JC Kuhl's clarinet work plays textural support under a gleaming saxophone solo from Drew Sayers that ensures Revelators makes space for improvisation that helps express the feelings Taylor and Ralston are going for without having to write them all out beforehand. "We only ever talked about what emotion we were going for,” Ralston said about the composition process for the album, and you can feel that as these songs drift from idea to idea without forcing themselves to stick to a particular one. When George the Revelator or Grieving swap from punchy jazz-rock to sensitive ambiance, it's not just for a change of pace: the stories they're trying to tell could only be told through stitching these different styles together into the four-piece odyssey that is Revelators. The album's ambient sections make up the majority of Revelators, but they have enough movement and activity within them to feel as engaging and powerful as anything else on offer here. The only time that doesn't work is on the latter half of Grieving - the way it goes from the thrill of the first half into a sleepy and lethargic ambient section still doesn't click with me, and considering it's followed by the six-minute ambient song Collected Water, it could have been cut entirely without the album losing much from it - but otherwise it's extremely difficult to find a moment on Revelators where you're not pulled deep into the vortex of strings, woodwinds and keys that take advantage of that instrumentation in these aquatic habitats. Collected Water throws a thick low-end in through Ralston's double bass and Daniel Clarke's sparkling piano lines as a thicket of saxophone float through them as weightless as sand being blown by the wind, six minutes of complete and utter peace that act as an oasis between the album's two longest tracks; I find it doubly impressive that it feels just as impactful as the pieces it's stuffed between despite being half their length. Bury the Bell only makes me wish that Taylor and Ralston used their string orchestra even more, the sunset glow of seven violins, three violas, and three cellos around velvet vines of clarinet, organ, and Fender Rhodes like the view of a universe too beautiful for us to visit. Revelators is an album centered around grief both personal and political, and these ambient pieces act as a foil to the fervor of Grieving's manic polyrhythms or George the Revelator anxious saxophone layers that rounds out the experience of Revelators to be something truly special and one of a kind. It's short, but Revelators does so much within its 34 minutes that feeling like Taylor and Ralston have so much more to explore as Revelators Sound System is only a good thing. It's a nourishing, delicate album that connects jazz, rock, ambient and psychedelia into a cave system of luminous woodwinds and lush strings propelled by glowing improvisation and unmatched percussive chemistry between its three drummers that never let the album stand still. It's confident and hopeful and full of inspirations they do a lovely job paying homage to, and I can't imagine how much better things will be in the future if Revelators is only the start. Whatever road Revelators Sound System decides to travel down next, there's no doubt Taylor and Ralston are a perfect match, interfacing with each other's ideas and finding the most elegant ways to combine them into one graceful sculpture. Revelators couldn't be a better name for an album this groundbreaking for the two of them.
