The collaborative product of David Sylvian, Steve Jansen and Burnt Friedman has been hugely anticipated, and doubly so when the smallprint reveals that it also features the contributions of an unbeleivably tantalising supporting cast : Arve Henriksen, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Stina Nordenstam. Nine Horses make sprawling oak tree music that mixes it's various protagonists disparate skills into a profoundly engaging end result that has been already described by many as Sylvian’s most approachable material in years .'Snow Borne Sorrow' is an oddly engaging LP, taking a male/female duet structure that brings to mind 'Where The Wild Roses Grow', opening with 'Wonderful World'; wherein they spin a shuffling web of bourbon streaked jazz which unwinds with a paranoid intent. From here they indulge in some electronic torch songs ('Darkest Birds' & 'Serotonin'), tackle a dark night with the slouched horns of 'The Banality of Evil', before collapsing on the optimism tinted epic of 'The Librarian'. Dark, unique and very rewarding, a must. [boomkat.com]
