STYLE...... Ambient, Drone, Minimal LABEL...... Tokyo Droning Jordan Sauer (Segue) has been quietly furrowing away with his own work and his own label (Duckbay) for a few years now. I say 'furrowing' because in the often generic sounding ambient/minimal scene, Jordan's work really sticks out for its organic and highly melodic nature. His work is one of attention to detail, of gentle, enveloping development,and a rather honest and open soulfulness. For me, Grey feels like a folk album in many ways: earthy, open, and warm. Over nearly 44 minutes Jordan takes us on a quiet, very autumnal journey using guitars, drones, clicks, clacks and innocent wonderment. I am thrilled that Tokyo Droning gets to release this beautiful work, and I am so glad some of you get to own it too, so long as you are quick enough!
