Kyo & Jeuru All The Same Dream

Third album from Kyo, the enigmatic product of Hannes Norrvide and Frederik Valentin's
compact. For this record they have collaborated with American vocalist Jeuru, a recent
recruit into the city of Copenhagen. Kyo's previous records are breathtaking instrumental
works, and they have steadily earned the group praise on their own terms. Collaborating
with Jeuru takes this exploration a step further and into territory uncharted in previous
recordings. Jeuru's vocals stray from spoken word trysts to heartfelt cries and
introspective sighs. The casually diaristic lyrics and the often conversational tone brings a
very real immediacy into Norrvide and Valentin's world, gracefully illuminating its
architecture and revealing the great forms all around. Kyo's music always departed for
freedom and arrived there promptly. Jeuru gives us a telescope, and with intimacy we
explore.The fine blend of electronics and acoustic instruments is carefully balanced on 'All
The Same Dream'. Everything shimmers, turning us one way and then losing us the next,
matching the vocals in a persistent sense of opportunity. Brilliantly pitched moments of
abrasive electronics are a warm welcome, immersing us in a different time zone from that
of the rhythmic pieces that lead us into a chilled metropolis. It feels like we've been
walking these streets forever, from club to club, from scene to scene, but there's never
enough time to dream between destinations."
