Iso 68 are probably the best kept secret weapons of the Weilheim scene which has spawned the likes of the Notwist, Tied & Tickled Trio, Lali Puna and MS John Soda. Florian Zimmer, all round geezer and ex -keyboardist from Lali Puna, partners up for the third time with Vertical Form signee and longtime Hausmusik protagonist Thomas Leboeg, for what will prove to be probably the defining album this micro-scene has produced to date. Joined by Robert Klinger on stand up bass and a three piece string section, there’s a poise and confidence to the seven jawdropping tunes here, the percussion and textures considered and sparing, the keys and pianos unfailingly melodic, the basslines just ultra heavy, spine tingling stuff in fact. Allegiances to the jazz of Tied & Tickled are tempered by Florian’s wide-eyed keys, on ‘Stoppages’ the subtlety of a single ride cymbal and pizzicato strings, finds sure footing over a massive bass vamp, while Zimmer positively shines. ‘Diffusion Capricc’ just builds a tactile mood for nearly four minutes, before the mother of bass and drumbreaks drops in seismic fashion. As moving as music gets. There’s a couple of spoken word contributions from Eva Baierliff, adding a feminine element to the heady mix, which fits just perfectly. The watch word here is beauty, and this is the eighth time I’ve played this album in its entirety today, enjoying it more with every listen. After their show-stealing performance on Vertical Form’s magnificent ‘Pro Bono Publico’ compilation, Iso 68 have created an album that manages to tap into the sublime electro-accoustic wonder of To Rococo Rot and imbue it with a deep, late night Jazz sensibility that will take you into a serene, cathartic world of bliss. Essential purchase.
