It’s been 10 years since Nicolás Jaar’s Pomegranates, his unofficial soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov’s 1969 film The Colour of Pomegranates. To mark the occasion, the album is reissued on vinyl, offering a chance to revisit this long out-of-print work. Twenty tracks folding in Jaar’s Palestinian and Chilean roots, it’s an ambient tour de force and one of his most exciting works. - Flying Out
It's been 10 years since Pomegranates - Nicolás Jaar's unofficial / alternative soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov's 1969 film The Color of Pomegranates - was first released, and to highlight this occasion comes a reissue of the album on vinyl, with the first edition (a collaboration with the label Mana) having long been out of print.
Longer and slower-releasing than his other albums, Pomegranates often parallels the
cinematic epic on which it’s based, with ideas pursued over long timelines and
across dark landscapes, assembling elements and moods from the aesthetic and folkloric landscapes of Armenia. Jaar’s identity is perceived within this, folding in his heritage as Palestinian and Chilean as he attempts to build a musical architecture outwards that frames as much of the mess and sprawl of life as possible; using a language that investigates the movement and fluctuation of his own artistic career and character similarly to the film’s tracing of the coming of age of the young poet, Sayat-Nova.
At times, Pomegranates feels profoundly intimate, as though looking through the archive of a friend’s music and discovering the accent and common currency that lives within each of these tracks. Much of Jaar’s most elegant and touching melodic work is nestled here, its power residing in its simplicity and willingness to speak to the heart and not the mind of the listener.
