On ‘Blue Ceiling’, Joe Dürbeck continues his breathtaking collaboration with <a href="http://www.chloemarch.co.uk/" target="_self">Chloë March</a>(who contributed vocals to the 2010 single, ‘Edinburgh’). ‘Blue Ceiling’ has an utterly heartbreaking drift, its pellucid atmosphere like winter sunlight refracting through raindrops on a window pane.

<em>”J</em><em>o Durbeck’s music is welcoming and gentle, even as it challenges. Deuxieme Bureau explores the positive sounds that are always there, even in the silence, even in sadness”</em> – <strong>Foxy Digitalis</strong>

Jumpel’s forthcoming album <em>Bloc4</em> (June 4 2013) centres around the elevated yet lonely world of a tower block, each track poetically investigating its multi-faceted elements and spaces. The songs were written throughout 2012, with ideas collated, reviewed, developed and remixed. Following the wonderful results of his collaboration with Chloë March on <em>Europa</em> single ‘Edinburgh’, Joe Dürbeck presented the ideas for <em>Bloc4</em> to March and invited her to select tracks and develop vocal ideas. The results are stunning – and offer a perfect counterbalance to the more melancholic, spacious instrumental pieces.
