Rounding up songs he's been toying with for the better part of the last decade, Perri enters his third decade of music-making with this lovely, langourous collection of subtly detailed soft rock - his most guitar-based album since 2007's Tiny Mirrors. Rightly celebrated as "one of the most singular producers in contemporary music" (Boomkat) for his widely varied electronic work, Perri's foundations as a guitarist have always factored into his 'solo' albums in one form or another. On Soft Landing, Perri's guitar is at the calm and expressively rambling heart of these tunes - while his recording and mixing acumen as a (self) producer is, as always, on brilliant display.
Gently explorative, cyclical rhythms underpin driftwards guitar lines that mix soft rock, psychedelia and soul. Ease yourself into Sandro Perri's bath of sound. For fans of Fleetwood Mac, Yo La Tengo, Bill Callahan.
