The Recently Beautiful [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

"To follow-up to 2020s Dance Music Volume II, Joshua Van Tassel took a new approach, smaller in scope without sacrificing focus: lullabies for adults, arranged for a quartet, written at night while the rest of his household slept, not a one crossing three minutes. The result is The Recently Beautiful, a collection of hushed dream fodder and gentle aural nightcaps.

I wanted to feel the feeling of listening to really beautiful deep music, but for a really short time, says Van Tassel, who wrote a song at the end of every night for nearly two months straight to arrive at these 13. You can sink into that: that was a beautiful moment in my day. And you can have it again.

He recorded these songs in Toronto alongside Robbie Grunwald (piano) and Drew Jurecka (violin and viola), with Van Tassel on his trademark Ondea. It was a process of distillation and instinct, a new approach by its maker, who wants listeners to turn to The Recently Beautiful at night to help them process the day via pleasing melodies, delivered with quiet grace."
