Prosegue - e probabilmente qui termina - la mini serie che Bill Wells ha voluto riservare con un album ciascuno alle voci soliste del suo delizioso National Jazz Trio Of Scotland (che come si sa non è un trio, né fa jazz): Kate Sudgen prima, poi Gerard Black e ora Aby Vulliamy in Standards Vol. VI.
With the intent of producing the saddest heartbreak record ever made, Wells sourced a back catalogue of miniature epics, reinterpreting each tale of everyday yearning to make a canon of melancholy loungecore designed for nights in alone, if not always lonely. Beyond the concept of isolation behind Standards Vol. VI, practical concerns added to the affair, with Wells recording backing tracks at home in Glasgow, while Vulliamy added her voice from her home in Yorkshire. The result is a thing of quiet beauty that sees Wells and Vulliamy reimagine a panoply of pop classics in their own aloof sounding image.
