Classic Water

About

Matter Of Time – the second album by Dutch alt-folk/americana collective Classic Water – resonates like a calm before a storm; songs that gleam like rays of sunlight penetrating an ominous fog. It’s a substantial departure from the band’s impressive debut LP Concrete Pleasures – a document of inspired reinvention, enraptured storytelling and expressive playing. The eight songs that comprise Matter Of Time are a natural next step, reminiscent of moments when existential doubt starts to taint the roving spirit, memories distort into dreams, or the point where the ocean’s surface dissolves into a fathomless sky. Songs that feel tender and measured in both sound and expression; their protective shell eroded by universal troubles and concerns. Matter Of Time is a collection of songs in which both joy and devastation are carved into its vigilant stillness, where lived experience becomes as much a refuge as a reason to endure. --Jasper Willems
