Album lore

Ek Is Eik, released in April 2014 on Big Round Records, presents Anne Vanschothorst’s blend of jazz, contemporary classical, and indie folk with a distinctly Dutch sensibility. The album’s eleven instrumental tracks range from the acid jazz grooves of "Where’s Mo?" to the reflective tones of "When We Were Trees" and "The Caged Owl." Vanschothorst’s trumpet work anchors the record, weaving through chillout atmospheres and subtle harmonic shifts.The record’s modest audience—over 14,000 Last.fm scrobbles—belies its understated craftsmanship, where each composition unfolds with a measured restraint. Ek Is Eik situates itself quietly within the lineage of European jazz-inflected folk, offering a nuanced, introspective signal for crate-diggers seeking something beyond the well-trod canon.
