Expanding numberless, warm motions of human heart, "Fearsome Jewel" is like summer breeze that will draw the listener back into the earliest days of childhood, doing it always in a different way - which makes this album one of the best Kompakt releases so far. Strong atmosphere, syncopated and broken textures filled with piano strings, romantic and evocative, reveal the hidden treasure inside this repetitive simplicity. Imagine yourself in a perfect summer afternoon; sitting in the house garden full of different flowers and trees, surrounded by shimmering silence and thanksgiving joy of everything that exists in the universe... And, suddenly, you'll find yourself so happy being alive, being a part of this heavenly celebration of life which cannot be expressed by human words. "Fearsome Jewel" is one of those moments captured in time.
