Released on Thrill Jockey in 2023, Archangels marks a bold artistic statement from composer John Bence. Threading together gauzy electronic atmospheres, brooding orchestral passages, and minimalist piano meditations, Bence comes fully into his own as a composer here, revealing new surprises at every twist and turn.
Rather than showcasing compositional excess, Archangels finds Bence exploring how much can be achieved with restraint — the results ranging from deeply soothing to quietly distressing. Each immersive, yearning movement creates a space for contemplation, evocative and probing without ever feeling prescriptive, making this an album that rewards patient, attentive listening.
