Fifth solo album from Jimi Tenor, and his funk-jazz-pop-lounge is more disconcerting than ever. After a pretty difficult-to-apprehend and dark Organism, Out Of Nowhere showcases a new side to his talent. Not forgetting his keyboards and organs, Tenor has, this time, hijacked a complete Polish orchestra, and has supplied them with some amazing musical constructions. Ranging from jazz, on Paint The Stars, to Scott Walker-meets-Prince-style easy funk, on Blood On Borscht or the fabulous Spell, to avant-gardism, on Out Of Nowhere, Tenor goes deeper into his obsessions with perfect mess. Sometimes very reminiscent of his Impostor Orchestra album, which seems to have been no more than a style exercise, or a training ground for him, like on the opening track, he twists conventions, ignore rules, and do as he pleases for three quarters of an hour. The man is free, his mind completely disassociated from the rest of his body, and evolving in some sort of musical twilight zone. Out of Nowhere has to be his most enchanting record to date, and proof it needed, that the man has a talent as big as his world. Finland hasn’t brought out that many great artists to the world, but Jimi Tenor was definitely worth waiting for.
