James Holden + Wacław Zimpel

About

British synth wizard James Holden and Polish clarinet guru Waclaw Zimpel present their entrancing debut album of improvisatory works: 'The Universe Will Take Care Of You' is an alliance wherein these two like-minded masters of their craft converge and explore their deepest improvisational urges to strikingly lush, hypnotic and emotive effect. An in-the-moment lyrical conversation between the pair’s playing, cementing the joyful convergence of their disparate musical journeys, it is an explosion of raw musical creativity in its most primal form.

Blissfully escapist, these six transcendent odysseys of psychedelic electronic music and freeform musicianly virtuosity roam freely: from the skittering pulsations of opener ‘You Are Gods’, through the radiant, revelatory echoes of ‘Sunbeam Path’, the hyperkinetic, arpeggiated rush of ‘Time Ring Rattles’ and ‘Incredible Bliss’, the mesmeric ambient euphoria of ‘Sparkles, Crystals, Miracles’, to the spiralling slow-burn ascension of the closing title track. With this finale, Holden & Zimpel offer up a monumental coda of stirring percussive rustle and gently cascading clarinet tones, before soaring into a sublime, resonant denouement of towering synth and organ themes; a conclusion of vast, otherworldly high drama that encapsulates the scale of this extraordinary album.
