Sandman Project
's long awaited debut album
Where Did You Go?
is a borderless amalgam of brass heavy sounds, a document of a band whose musical tendencies mimic their open-minded ethic where Ethio-jazz, Afrobeat, American soul music and psychedelic, Mediterranean funk traverse. Led by guitarist and composer
Tal Sandman
, Tel Aviv based Sandman Projects' last release was in 2018 on their debut EP, their only existing recording. Six years later and it is no surprise this expansive work is positively brimming with an ocean of ideas, rooted in jazz, exceptionally crafted and boasting a myriad of musical pivots with a subtle but crucial production and synth touch by producer
Tomer Baruch
. Absolutely key to this new recording and Tal's adult musical upbringing and education is the ongoing influence of saxophonist
Abate Barihun
, sometimes known as the Ethiopian
John Coltrane
who is an Ethiopian Jew who emigrated to Israel in 1999. Whilst he doesn't feature directly on the record, Tal has long been mentored and stewarded by him and she affirms that "his inspiration continues to play a crucial role in my creative process." And so, to the album's title track "Where Did You Go?" which oozes film-noir with Tal's omnipresent Tizta sound using the Tezeta scales from Ethiopia dictating the mood whilst synths transcend and build an immersive soundscape something akin to
Mulatu Astake
jamming with the
Fleet Foxes
with
Brian Eno
-esque electronic manipulation. The Sandman project line up comprises of five core musicians with Tal Sandman on electric guitar,
Tal Avraham
playing trumpet,
Tal Eyal
on percussion,
Noam Cherchie
on drums, and
Ariel Harrosh
on bass. Additional synth and organ provided by producer Tomer Baruch and guest vocalist
Dafna Shilon
joins on the album closer "The Other Side." Further vintage synth excursions repeat on "Cauda Equina," with Tal's heavy fretting giving the track a funk feel, and a dreamy one as the trumpet builds. Six years in the waiting, and with plentiful personal and collective transformation giving
Where Did You Go?
a deeper sense of geography and global nuance, the new sound of Sandman Project is rich, porous and dreamy and essentially, full of hope.
