Cordoba Christopher - Us Poor Humans

Facts 2015 release, Christopher Cordoba's third collection of instrumental music. US Poor Humans is charged with imagination, intrigue and emotion. It is a dynamic, filmic collection, which morphs seamlessly from genre to genre while being very much a singular statement. Cordoba seems totally in control of the contrasts of shade and light in his music, giving US just enough information to settle on before we are introduced to another dizzying guitar line, sweet synthesizer or intriguing mood. Touch points include Jaga Jazzist, Marc Ribot, John Foxx, Steve Reich, Spike Jonze, Kraftwerk, Gibson Brothers, Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke, EST and even Jackie Mittoo meeting Georgie Fame. Each of the 13 tracks could be the soundtrack to a film. Someone should make the films these songs deserve.
