Patience [CD]

From the opening bars of the wonderful So Well, (featuring their friend and collaborator Jessie Ware), the feeling of joy pervades the record. Although the group have worked on this record with Anna Calvi, Rosie Lowe, Connan Mockasin and Sam Shepherd (Floating Points) as well as Ware, the sense of collective excitement and pleasure in music-making is what holds sway. Theyve played with just about everyone from Adele to St Vincent, Grace Jones, Britten Sinfonia, Jack DeJohnette, Roots Manuva, Jamie Woon, Hot Chip, Zongamin, Gramme, Yoko Ono, Beck and many others. Joyous without losing any of its intelligence or compositional rigor, the record takes its title from an unfashionable but profound idea that, if we want to solve problems we have to be prepared to work and to wait rather than expecting instant results. The Invisibles first album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, their second was described as incredibly uplifting and moving (Vice), but its Patience (as youd expect, if you understand that good things come to those who wait) that standsso far!as the uplifting pinnacle of their remarkable career.
