Treble Includes Cloudward On Its Mid-Year List
Mary Halvorson‘s Cloudward was included on Treblezine‘s list of best albums of 2024 so far. “Curiously melodic yet often alien in its mode of communication,” Jeff Terich writes, the album sometimes feels like a new survey of the lunar landscapes of Sun Ra’s most prolific periods, or a somewhat less intense descendent of Eric Dolphy’s Out to Lunch!—to which Patricia Brennan’s vibraphone plays a significant role. Never as scorching as free jazz, but rarely familiar or comforting, Cloudward is a glorious ascent to a strange and fascinating realm.” See the full list here.
