Sometimes the harmonies reminded you of a Welsh choir, or perhaps a solemn brass band, and then a groove flirted with going bossa nova, but decided to stay chaste. While subtly evading expectations, Robbie Melville loads his music with a restrained melancholy conveying innocence rather than knowingness, the upshot being an unusual emotional ambiguity blending resignation and contentment.
This mix of moods and feelings is rare in any art, because the sadness was untainted by bitterness. Nor did the restraint tip the music into tedium, because the harmonic language was so intriguing and the flurries of improvisation so pithily used by the players.
