The appearance of the second album by Lumen Drones, Umbra, carries the status of a major event. Coming fully five years after the group’s startling, self-titled debut recording-released, in late 2015, on ECM Records-the long-awaited follow-up marks a significant leap forward. No less experimental than its predecessor, and certainly no less ‘electric’, yet in many ways a deeper and more profound expression of the trio’s interests, Umbra is probably some sort of masterpiece.
Over nine tracks varying from two to six minutes in length, Nils Økland (fiddles), PerSteinar Lie (guitars) and Ørjan Haaland (drums) create a completely convincing musical world where the conventional boundaries separating different styles seem to disappear. Exactly what type of music this might be, and where it might come from, ceases to matter once one is engaged in the act of listening. Each tune has a distinct identity of its own, and imprints itself on the mind very easily, as does the aesthetic unity of the album as a whole. Indeed, Umbra proves compulsively listenable at whatever level you choose, and repays close attention and repeated exposure.
