The 10 tracks on Malinche are songs even though only one is bearing vocals. The melodic harmonies based on the elaborate acoustic guitar picking by Jan Thoben and Jochen Briesen are so strong and distinctive in each piece making them function as self-contained acoustic short stories. After the introductory Baruth, two acoustic guitars playing a warm and uplifting pattern, Kandern opens up a wide and deep cosmos of sound, a doublebass intro is followed by fieldrecordings of a train station. The tone of the guitar becomes quieter, darker. Music perfect to get totally sunken into.
