Jeniferever: Iris

It may be just a four-track EP but don’t whatever you do think this is a ‘quick-spin-while-getting-ready-to-go-out’ job. Clocking in at no less than 37 minutes Jeniferever are a band all-too-fluent in the art of drawing out a song and building upon it wonderfully expressive Sigur Ros-esque art-scapes. As you begin to absorb such delicate waves of sound you start to view their music more as works of art, where, in ‘White Belt, Black Heart’ especially, ebbing strings and flowing bursts of colour are shaded warmly while evocations of long-treasured emotions are given chance to unfold once more.

It’s an admirable advancement on last year’s split EP with The Next Autumn Soundtrack, the band creating an all-the-more tranquil and settled mood to that of last year’s Jeniferever. ‘You Only Move Twice’ sees a lush orchestration cascading over vocalist Kristofer’s frail melodies while ‘For The World Is Hollow And I Have Reached The Sky’ is as tender and fragile a track you’ll ever hear, conjuring images of a cruel morning sun as it slowly osmosises through the shadows.

Without getting too poetic about it, ‘Iris’ is simply a beautiful record that you’ll find caressing your hangover time and time again.

Jeniferever - Iris

I like this. It has wonderful Shipping News-esque moments of sparse-ness, and full on moments of more angular influence. Track 3 takes the biscuit, I love the mandolin sounding guitar work.

How do I get hold of it? I've tried every company I can think of and none of them stock it.
