Acclaimed by critics as dazzling,magnificent, and breathtakingly moving, the unique, Bristol UK-based Spiro are celebrated for the beauty of their interlocking, intricate musical patterns. Like whirlpools, they draw you in with compelling, complex minimalism and sweep you away in an irresistible river of sound. This many-layered music features just four acoustic instruments at any given moment, breaking through traditional boundaries and played in unconventional ways.
Spiro combine the complexity of classical music with the melodic strength of traditional folk tunes and the simplicity and groove of modern loop-based music, inspired by such minimalists as Steve Reich and Philip Glass as well as by techno and electronica.
With Welcome Joy and Welcome Sorrow, the title of a Keats poem, Spiro take you through the extremes of human experience. It’s an album about being alive. Keats’ line — Dancing music, music sad, both together, sane and mad — is pretty much a musical mission statement for Spiro with this elegant recording.
