Angel Bat Dawid and Naima Nefertari: “Heru: The Oasis”

Not just an album – a constellation. So sayeth the liner notes at Bandcamp. The collab LP from Angel Bat Dawid and Naime Nefertari is a curious ambient, jazz, experimental LP with cinematic flair. Our highlighted track “Heru: The Oasis” plays out like the opening score for an opera, or a film that takes itself very seriously. The sounds of nature background a jazz piano & clarinet duet, full of mystery and promise. You might expect this kind of song, so forward looking, to live at the front end of the album. But it sits right in the middle of Journey to Nabta Playa. Which suggests that the album is full of mystery, start to finish, and, as academic theorists like to say, “all the way down.” Via Spiritmuse Records.
