The heating element of this quartet is Campiche’s harp; at times naïve, candid or fiercely resounding, but always drawing attention with a glowing artistry. The title track is a live recording and named after a nuclear waste site in Finland; eerie ghost notes circle in a slow build, until the electrified harp starts to flutter and screech, Strix-like. Fumagalli’s saxophone leads a melody, soft with melancholy, but the harp’s rhythmic solo is what truly touches; shot through as it is, with emotional revelation.

There is a sense of closeness between this Swiss quartet, and a grasp of how to enhance the harp’s ideas while never domineering, or pushing it to bark back. The opening of ‘To the Holy Land’ hears double bass plucks of Hagmann and repetitive harp notes dance between each other with coy sensitivity and when the piece eventually reaches the drum solo played by Kuratle, it is tough and tight, intensifying the moment with eloquence.

The saxophone and double bass lead the charge in ‘Flash Info’, a track that engagingly spins on a sixpence, switching from the harp’s simple poem into an energetic bebop several times. The album as a whole could learn from the urgency here, as the compositions are often drawn out too far. There lacks a recording production that might have reduced the contemplative distance so that the harmonic motion of the harp, like a Siren’s song, could realise its full spellbinding power. Luckily, the originality of the music and intriguing stories it seems to tell are clear.
