L.I.T.A.N.I.E.S. // Nicholas Lens (with Nick Cave)

Tidal: https://tidal.com/browse/album/163863980

I just discovered this album. Nice music, but sadly, the heavy dynamic compression makes it sound unnatural and fatiguing. Volume knob way down near 0 even on low gain, and the DR14 rates it an 8. Uncompressed music like this usually rates 12-15. That's a big difference. Normally I'd say par for the course, but this is on the Deutsche Grammophon label and they should know better. I have higher expectations of classical music labels not succumbing to the loudness wars.
An uncompressed version of this recording would give the music and performers the sound they deserve.

Loving the album While You Were Gone by the Vestbo Trio.

Led by guitarist Michael Vestbo, who channels everything from John Scofield to Tame Impala, the album is deliciously fleshy and well produced. Really enjoyable end to end.
