- Snarky Puppy & Metropole Orkest: Somni
(2025, 2lp, --, groundup music)
(2025, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
Released through several digital music channels, and available as a 2 LP set on blue vinyl, Snarky Puppy's recent collaboration with the Metropole Orkest, is another amazing release.
"Somni" will be out as a combined CD and DVD set early next year, which I'm also looking forward to. In the meantime, I'm more than happy with the audio (and the YouTube pieces).
Beautiful compositions, typical Snarky Puppy timbres, and lyrically emphasised by the Metropole Orchestra.
Brilliant.
"Somni" is the second collaborative album by Snarky Puppy — the GRAMMY-winning, genre-fluid collective led by bassist-composer Michael League — and Metropole Orkest, the Netherlands-based hybrid ensemble renowned for fusing jazz, classical, and popular music on a symphonic scale. Captured live over three nights (January 17–19, 2025) in Utrecht, the project reunites the two groups a decade after their first joint effort, Sylva — an orchestral suite released in 2015 that earned the GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album the following year.
