Michael Talbott and The Wolfkings – Goodnight

For some reason you’d think they’d come from Scandinavia but instead Michael Talbott and The Wolfkings call San Francisco their home. The name references a South Californian myth and there is an equally mystical quality to the music they make. It takes 13 people for the Wolfkings to operate at full pelt but given the hushed quality of the output I’d wager at least half that number are employed on quiet-making duties like door closing and shushing any potential interrupters. And their efforts are duly rewarded when you cock an ear to the pristine nature that goes by the name of ‘Goodnight’. Everything is its right place; the tinkling piano, the beautifully strung out bass line and Talbott’s deep hum for a vocal just melt into a grand sonic tapestry to caress your weary senses as you drift off.
