London jazz star Oscar Jerome proves he can bend spoons with jazz on his latest LP 'The Spoon'. Like a red-pilled soothsayer, he reduces all metal to its constituent molten parts, largely through the mode of lo-fi, dreamy pop jazz and neo-soul. Paeans to lockdown ('Sweet Isolation'), flourishingly spiritual harp and guitar interludes ('The Soup', 'Aya & Bartholomew') and impeccably produced singles ('Channel Your Anger', 'Feed The Pigs') make this a thoroughly difficult-to-pin-down yet texturally deep album, reminiscent of the production mastery of electronic fusion greats like Morgan Agren or Burnt Friedman. It's Jerome's best yet by far.
