That\u2019s the case with <i>Multiversum<\/i>, the latest album form Finnish musician Jimi Tenor. His chosen instrumental palette suggests jazz, but the music draws from trip-hop, electronica, baroque pop and other disparate inspirations. One moment the music seems to bear the influence of Burt Bacharach; the next, DEVO.<\/p>\n<p>Sonic textures that shouldn\u2019t work together find a kind of dissonant coexistence on this album. Strange to be sure, it\u2019s also irresistibly alluring, with clattering drum machines, chirpy flutes and skewed synth patches all swirling around in the mix. Cuts like \u201cJazznoveau\u201d wouldn&#8217;t be out of place in a playlist of post-bop jazz, while \u201cUncharted Waters\u201d is an impressionistic and hypnotic downtempo cut straight out of the late \u201890s. But while there are musical touchstones to be found within this music, in the end it sounds like nothing else you\u2019re likely to encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Equal parts challenging and accessible, a trip to the <i>Multiversum<\/i> is likely to be a unique \u2013 and uniquely rewarding \u2013 experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a delight to stumble upon music that resolutely resists categorization.
