A late shout for jazz record of the year, 'Letting Go of Forever' is a double album that once you dive feet first in, you'll never want to leave it's luxurious astral deep library funk waters.
For those who dig: cinematic strings, cosmic synths, earthy flutes, breaks and deep basslines.
HOLTO's 'Letting Go of Forever' is an expansive double LP that digs deep
into his other-worldly blend of cinematic soul, and psychedelic library music
Drawing on infuences spanning Mozart, Arthur Verocai, Piero Umiliani and
David Axelrod, the record sits alongside contemporaries including
Robohands, The Ironsides and Surprise Chef.
A captivating listen, well worth the investment of time across its 26-track run time,
SHOLTO explores the concept of letting go as a painfully natural ritual, characterising
the art of being able to do so as riddled with complexities and anguish. Morbid to
some, but beautifully freeing to others, the art of letting go of the idea that anything
should be forever can be relieving, allowing us to cherish what is in front of us in the
moment.
Be it in the face of the deaths of friends and loved ones or weddings and celebratory
moments, everything is just passing, and SHOLTO spins a delicate balance between
this dark and light on the record, pursuing the narrative that you can always turn a
negative into a positive.
