why we love this
Less focused on the musicians playing instruments, and more on the instruments instructing and guiding the conversation themselves. The use of space and modest, peaceful tension built between Suzanne Kraft and Jonny Nash’s playing creates a soft rippling that gently molds itself into the contours of the listener’s everyday environs.
about the record
This collaboration from Amsterdam’s Jonny Nash and Suzanne Kraft is a work of profound tranquility. Passive Aggressive is the duo’s first collaborative album, but it’s not immediately obvious that it’s the work of four hands instead of two. If anything, it is quieter and more spacious than anything either musician has done on his own. It sounds as though, instead of encouraging each other to add more ideas to the mix, the two musicians focused their energies on subtracting everything extraneous.
The results appear as effortless as Japanese calligraphy: a constellation of gestures in which no motion is wasted, and so seemingly natural that the creator’s hand disappears behind the work. In the right frame of mind, its meditative miniatures come springing vividly to life.
