For the past decade or so, Polish musician Michal Jacaszek has been exploring a modern chapter in Eastern Europe\u2019s long love affair with classical music. His songs are painstakingly crafted collages of electronic textures and baroque instrumentation.<\/p>\n

\"jacaszek<\/a>Jacaszek\u2019s latest album, ‘Glimmer,’ is marked by a noticeable battle between melancholy and beauty, like it\u2019s hovering in some gaseous grey area between both. \u201cI tried again to create some fragile beauty glimmering behind the veil of reality,\u201d<\/em> he says. \u201cI built a kind of curtain out of dirts and fuzzes, and used pure sound of clarinet and harpsichord playing beautiful melodies as a contrast to its harshness.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 This winking, push-and-pull tension runs deep and constant throughout the 40-odd-minute journey to the end.\u00a0Glimmer is, quite simply, an album that\u2019s easy to get lost in without being easy to ignore. Don\u2019t expect any eyelid drooping while it\u2019s on.<\/p>\n
