zarr. - sojourn (2021)



Kamal Manzar, the British artist known under the moniker of zarr., appeared on my blog three years ago with his album Cloudform. Now his back with the new one called Sojourn and fills it with heavy and beautifully droning ambient. 

The release is meant to be the reflection on the process of getting and losing inspiration with the changing atmosphere and "moods mirror[ing] the initial feelings of contentment when inspiration strikes followed by the feelings of deliberation and despondency when it escapes [the artist's] grip". Perhaps that's why it took him two years to finish writing the album. To be fair, it is also a very long release: well over an hour of good quality, mysterious and thick-layered music. He admits that this album presents his somewhat darker side and I can definitely see that, the drones here fit the nostalgic autumn time so well, it wouldn't be a surprise if a listener shed a tear when listening to this music, especially when the super airy backing vocals come to the play.
