Spaces and Places is J Dulva’s Album Out Now
Each track feels like a chapter in a sonic travel diary, carrying the listener from the edge of the cosmos to the heart of Spanish earth, passing through mystery, nostalgia, and cinematic grandeur along the way.
The journey begins with “The First Light,” a powerful, atmospheric opening that recalls the cosmic awe of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The track rises slowly, almost reverently, as if charting the birth of a star. It immediately sets a tone of exploration, not just sonically but spiritually. The listener is invited to leave behind the familiar and step into Dulva’s world of imagination.
Next comes “A Thousand Tomorrows, One Yesterday,” which shifts gears into something more vintage and psychedelic. There are subtle 70s influences here—creative guitar textures, dreamy landscapes, and hints of desert tones that evoke flashes of Mexico under a burning sun. It is relaxed yet visionary, nostalgic yet forward-looking.
“Slowly, the Ice Thaws” follows with a darker beauty. Strings glide through the arrangement with noir elegance, telling a story without words. There’s tension here, almost suspenseful, as if something is emerging from a frozen past. Dulva’s gift for atmosphere becomes undeniable.
With “Around the Corner, Over the Hill,” the album returns to mystery—but this time with a sense of curiosity rather than introspection. Echoes and rhythmic pulses create an interdimensional feeling, as if wandering into unknown territory guided only by intuition.
Then comes the earthy and expressive “Evening After,” built on a dry-toned guitar rooted in the blues. Spanish inflections appear in the phrasing, giving the track a rugged yet elegant feel. The journey deepens with “Dark Motive,” another cinematic piece filled with tension and foggy drama—a soundtrack for wandering city streets at night.
“Spanish Heart” erupts with cultural passion. Flamenco rhythms, palmas, and guitar flourishes bring a burst of energy. It feels alive, traditional yet free, built for dance and storytelling. Finally, “Carpathian Cliffs” closes the album with mountain majesty. You can almost see rocky peaks under clouds. It’s expansive, inspiring, and memorable—a perfect finale.
J Dulva proves once again that he is a storyteller without borders. Spaces and Places is a kaleidoscope of emotion and style—music not bound by genre, but driven by vision.
