Separate Chambers

Contriva can be imagined as four friends on their way from the past to the future: four people and their instruments and the space that connects them. With small-big songs, they are always closer to a pop song than to instrumental concept music and, at the end of the day, everything is melody. The hymnal moments when violin and organ get elegiac. They bask in the wide view of the horizon when two guitar figures interweave. The bass spreads the contours, precisely, unpretentiously.
