Harriet Riley and Alex Garden:
Sonder
(Self-release)
★★★★
This an intriguing album from a West Country-based duo with Riley playing vibraphone and Garden playing the violin supported by bassist Steve Toddler. Entirely instrumental the 12 tracks are all original compositions with a strong jazz influence.
What makes the album unusual is that each track has a title in different languages but with a meaning explained. The title track is defined as the realisation that each passerby is living a life as rich and complex as your own.
