Oren Ambarchi & Eric Thielemans

Kind Regards is the second duo release from guitarist Oren Ambarchi and drummer Eric Thielemans. The record captures an expansive performance in Poitiers, France in November 2023. It finds the duo refining their shared language while continuing to take risks, allowing the music’s gravitational pull to lead them from meditative calm to unexpectedly expressive passages of melodic invention and rhythmic drive. The LP contains a single unbroken performance, stretching out for over 45 minutes. Guitar and drums weave together into a symbiotic whole that nevertheless affords us ample opportunity to marvel at the highly personal approaches these two musicians have developed to their chosen instruments through decades of diverse collaboration and prolific performance.
