Koby Israelite - The Rest of Now '2018

Tracks list

The author of the old joke that asks, what’s the difference between an
onion and an accordion, clearly had never hear the much-maligned instrument in
the hands of Koby Israelite. 

In his latest studio album, The Rest of Now, Koby Israelite combines his natural
talent in accordion playing and sets it alongside a parley of other instruments
under his masterful control. 

The punchline to the joke of course is that, people only cry when they chop up
onions. This somewhat cheap gag is turned on its head by the eye watering
musical dexterity apparent throughout this new and enthralling album. Each track
is made up of intricate layers that form a synthesis between Orient and Occident
styles. Eastern European roots are combined with flavourings of jazz, heavy
rock, and electronica, and this mixing of tradition with modernity results in a
fascinating and dynamic sound, as well as revealing a personal humour and
spirited emotion that won’t be heard elsewhere. The result is an album
that delivers an adrenaline shot to the heart and a cerebral pulse to the soul.
Put simply, The Rest of Now, is truly a feast for any listener who is not afraid
to peel back the musical skin of invention and consume its fresh flavours of
style and form. (Jim Faircloth)
