Seven and Storm

A year after Rough Cuts, Füreder made the moody one. Thirteen tracks of downtempo jazz, most built around guest singers: Phoebe Hall on My Inner Me, Odette Di Maio on Faith, Billy Kern on Nowhere. The swing samples are still here, but the tempos drop and the skies close in. The title is accurate. This is bad weather music, made for headphones and a window rather than a dance floor, and among people who followed him early it remains the one they defend hardest.
