Album ANW 4315The Curious Case of the Hotel Crooked

Paul Dinletir (ASCAP) | Benjamin Knorr (SOCAN)

Everything is not quite as it seems in this uneasy orchestral collection. Plucked strings, spectral woodwind and ticklish percussion evoke a sense of jeopardy.

12 tracks
  1. The Monarch4315/1Playful mandolin captivates as regal keys and epic percussion ignite. A lull, as string and mandolin dance. Big hits, empiric brass, strings and keys rise and fall in a kingly dance, before a crashing crescendo of string, brass and hits.1:55
  2. A Room with a View4315/11Glistening marimba emerges as distant breath is heard. Mandolin quivers under clicks of percussion and bowed groans. Mournful strings as oud and mandolin flutter like droplets of light. Epic strings, brass, woodwind and vocals soar.2:20
  3. No Stone Unturned4315/13Woodwind and percussion rise and fade like the tide as breathy voices call. Clicks, rattles, rumbling hits and woodwind build in nervous, twitching energy. A crescendo of vocals, winds and percussion in an effervescent conclusion.1:55
  4. Sweet Success4315/17A big hit and sparkles of guitar and bass. Stepping percussion and pings of whimsical mandolin shimmer with nostalgic warmth, like a forgotten recollection. Inspiring vocals soar with strings and guitar in a flight of sunlit bliss.1:56
