GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker:
“Susnara-Clinger,” the 2022 release from Dan Susnara and Ken Clinger, is an intriguing collection that appears to encompass years of collaborative work. This album, while scant on specific details, offers a rich tapestry of diverse musical styles, all masterfully woven together through the talents of both artists.
From the outset, the listener is treated to Clinger’s lush synth and orchestral work, which provides a captivating backdrop for the album. His compositions, full of depth and intricacy, perfectly complement Susnara’s expert guitar phrasings.
Yet, the album doesn’t confine itself to these elements alone. Throughout its duration, “Susnara-Clinger” ventures into an array of styles, from collage to experimental electronic music. This diversity not only showcases the breadth of the artists’ musical expertise but also ensures that each track brings something new to the table. The album has a kind of flow through different times, I think.
The result is an album that feels like a journey through the musical minds of Susnara and Clinger. Each track, while distinct in its own right, contributes to the overall narrative of the album, painting a sonic picture that is both complex and engaging. It’s an album that demands attention. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration, showcasing the unique synergy that can arise when two talented artists join forces. For fans of both artists and of diverse music, this album is a must-listen.
