Excerpt (translated from the Italian): “In his second album, Jumpel continues along the path of refining his electronic-based compositions, offering an elegant hybrid between modulated environmental sounds, acoustic instruments and pronounced rhythms next to soft IDM tones”
Jumpel’s new album Deuxieme Bureau has been receiving airplay on the excellent Echoes radio show, presented by John Diliberto, which plays daily on over 130 radio stations across the USA.
For Perth-based music fans, the album is now also available on CD at the wonderful 78 Records.
Plus, the album has received a glowing review at Italian music site Ondarock. If you speak Italian, visit Ondarock to read the review in full, or visit Jumpel’s reviews section for a translated excerpt.
Jumpel Rag Magnetic Flag Jumpel – Rag Magnetic Flag
Excerpt: “This washes over you in a slight nod to post-rock. Yet as the song goes on, the vocals give ‘Sleeping Disgrace’ that slight whispy edge that slightly gets it away from that genre. Even later still the synth kicks in too then really get away from those ideas. It’s akin to something delicate yet sweeping the listener away at the same time.”
Exclusive and previously unreleased tracks by Hidden Shoal artists Slow Dancing Society, Sankt Otten and Jumpel are now available as part of an excellent double-CD ambient compilation entitled Euphony 2 put together by the ever-wonderful US public radio station WWUH. Visit WWUH to make a pledge to the station in order to receive the CD.
Euphony 1 is also still available, which features exclusive tracks by all the aforementioned artists, plus one from Monocle too. Well worth seeking out.
