Black Nile Is Slow-Burning Greatness, Writes Under The Radar

Under The Radar has Black Nile‘s video for “Danielle,” which is one of the standout tracks on their new album Indigo Garden. The site writes, “‘Danielle’ is a sprawling, slow-burning number, shaded by a recurring sax line. The first leg leans into a smoky lounge noir feel, but the track transitions between moods effortlessly, guided by nimble drumming, immersive bass grooves, rippling keys, and virtuosic sax work. The Shaws and their collaborators meld together seamlessly, but each element of the track also moves with its own freewheeling ease. Drummer Myles Martine throws out a rushing tide of fills as Luca Mendoza’s keys and Lawrence’s bass lock into an intricate dance of rhythms, with Aaron painting over it all with wild sax runs. The results can feel soulful and understated in one moment, then showy and dramatic in the next, playing out like the love theme for a vintage drama.”
