Bing & Ruth

City Lake, Tomorrow Was The Golden Age, and No Home Of The Mind are masterful albums driven by Bing & Ruth’s leader David Moore at the piano, while their 4th release, Species, is an exploration of the sonic possibilities of the Farfisa organ aided only by a clarinet and double bass (played respectively by founding members Jeremy Viner and Jeff Ratner). The title Species is a nod to both humanity and humility – a devotion to the godly intuition with which we are all endowed, and the humbleness required of us to perceive it. It’s also about suspended time and trance; not just a steady movement from A to B, but as something that flows, meanders and eddies, like water. With Species (Solo Piano) Moore reimagines “Body In A Room” and “Nearer” on piano, creating beautiful interpretations of the tracks that blossom as unique works of their own.
