Jinx
is the main project from Jan Pettersen, from Sweden a new discovery
for me. Dreamcatcher is the follow-up to Meadows (2012) and Splinter
Planet (2013), both of which were re-released on online platforms in
April 2018. The influences on this album are to name a few Banco De
Gaia, The Orb, Dreadzone, Eskmo, Crazy World Of Arthur Brown,
Gorillaz and Ayreon.
Overall
this isn’t a bad album it’s certainly pleasant enough to sit down
and chill to. Comprising electronica with acoustics, world music and
a touch of the classical with moments you can pick up on the
influences of the Orb and Banco De Gaia. It was the second track
‘Windswept’ that caught my attention initially, where a shuffling
percussion and a more eminent flute lead to a very catchy section of
acoustic strings. While there is certainly nothing wrong with the
title track, personally I preferred ‘Once upon a time in Russia’
a piece of electronica where angelic choruses join eastern acoustics
in a fashion not unlike Toby Marks himself.
