bulbul6Throughout Bulbul # 6 prevails an undulating intensity caught in complex rhythms and complimenting melodies. Opposing rhythms overlay and cross each other to form beats which dare anyone to try not to feel. 'When the sun comes out' banishes genre borders with raw, comfortable, new and familiar sounds of the 60's, to the 00's taking us through, out of and around unknown familiarity. The mood softens in 'Shenzhou' which echoes in the air like a beautiful nightmare. 'Tighter' and 'Tighten' wake us to a stomping reality and we're submerged into Bulbul's unique, extensive expression all the way to a final track so repetitive it almost forms an addiction. Like sleeping and waking in the same moment, Bulbul 6 gives satisfaction in uncertainty by stretching the illusive lines of decided opinion. It is a fine album and one which continues to reveal itself in each playing.
