Lambert & Dekker We Share Phenomena CD

2018 release. A connection sparked 10 years ago in a tiny Utrecht club has flickered into a cross-country collaboration and a disarming debut from Lambert & Dekker. That the pair never set foot in the same studio but wrote We Share Phenomena via iPhone messages belies the beguiling atmospherics and bold tones that drift from the speakers. Berlin-based Lambert, a mask-wearing pianist at the fore of the neo-classical movement, and singer Brookln Dekker, one-half of acclaimed Anglo-American outfit Rue Royale, describe themselves as a 'ghost' duo who have fleshed into something beyond the sum of their parts. We Share Phenomena is an effortless, under-the-skin alliance that forges Lambert's classical, at times jazzy, piano and Brookln's soul-filled melodies with subtle rhythm glitches and string echoes.
