Despite having a name that sounds like a Scandinavian conductor, Petr Aleksander is actually the combined efforts of Eliot James and Tom Hobden, two musicians who met while working on Noah and the Whale's debut album, and combine for this project that comes with very strict rules - create more considered, precise music by limiting instruments to piano and strings, but refuse to sacrifice raw emotion. This record sees that philosophy applied to 'This Is Not A Safe Place', the beloved sixth album from Ride, an outfit that have penned some of the most important shoegaze tracks of all time. Accomplished ingredients, the result of this cross-pollination is a stunning and subtle slice of intelligent pop music, rooted in modern classical, complete with ambient touches, but strikingly playful and easily saleable. A unique and highly polished addition to the list.
