Alfa Mist - Structuralism (2019) [Full Album]

[@tiagohenrique013]

Here I am, I'm a 24 year old Brazilian trying to change my life. Right now I'm studying programming, because I need to change my life. Well, at the moment I work at a company where they don't value their employees, but I'm here! Trying to be better, but not better than anyone else and yes, better at what I can be. One day I will share this comment and smile with everything that happened. Everything will get better. At the sound of Alfa Mist, I will go very far.

[@colinthorn]

Trying to be better, but not better than, anyone else. Your taste in music will already take you more than halfway to happiness! Peace! 🙏

I've clicked through so many videos, through so many incredible, weird ambient landscapes... I feel like I'm going on a train trip, seeing a succession of crazy, never-before-seen scenes from history, important, weird musics through the window as I pass... there's so much to explore. So many places to alight and dwell in the ambiences that are on offer. This stop, in particular, is brilliant 🕊

Funny story: more than a year ago the Antiphon album appeared on suggested vids. A wonderful discovery! I played it over and over again for days and then slowly forgot about it. I tried months later to remember what was the artist or the album I played - unsuccessfully again and again. Then, two days ago, I started googling about the christian antiphons and bam! There it was, third google hit among videos! Man I was happy to find it again! :-D Played it again and started to search on any news about Alfa Mist. Got on Twitter, saw the news about new album coming out... Hm, 26th April 2019 ... thats like, one day wait! What a coincidence! Thank you for your wonderful music Alfa Mist!

I (keep) sticking on this, it structures meself, don't wanna get out, it's heaven in my ears ! ... I'll tell you what/why (down there underneath...) ...not only Monsieur A. Mist is of of the rare mist I've heard as felt, but if guys around wanna know what an Artist is made of, in his own depth and all about, then here you've pushed the very right door. It's all there fine in your hears. Misty, soft, exquisite rapture then strength is taking you down within, gives you distance, looks and thoughts over. If one wants to get into introspection, this is the place. Then a soft indian summer rain is gonna wash it all out, renewing all the senses. I really hope that I'll see and listen Alpha Mist and Co. LIVE one day. For now I'm sending from South of France all my LOVE* to all the great musicians of this album, to whom & where I keep on coming back, on and on... * It is The Message, and the Only One ;-) !

This is a fine album Alfa Mist - you have got together a great bunch of musicians. Great hooks, which set up the tracks and then change. A wide palette of instruments, timbres; and the string quartet blends in beautifully, testament to your great ear and arrangements. The spoken word, rap, and songs, and JAZZ make this such a varied album. And you are great live - I saw you at Village Underground, London.Quality music which should have a wide spectrum of listeners - music for grown-ups, young and older.
