Review: Kentin Jivek's Third Eye (2012)

Artist: Kentin Jivek
Album: Third Eye
Release Date: March 2012
Written for: KronosMortus.com (in Hungarian and English)
Rating: 4,5/5





Another review that I've done recently was for Kentin Jivek's album released less than a year ago - Third Eye. Here's the introductory part of the review. The link to the rest, published at KronosMortus.com is provided under the text.




     To set this album into only one genre is not an easy thing. The phrases “ambient folk” or “neofolk”, most commonly used, describe Kentin Jivek’s music only partially. There are so many elements blended together into the music, showing enough diversity and surprise with not just every new album, but with every song that Jivek creates. Although his work does not diverge much from the atmospheric style that he has set over the years, the songs do not follow one repeated formula. The lyrics and background instrumentation seem to have been built around the main guitar melody, but every other added element presents a new experiment.
