Matt Borghi & Michael Teager’s Subterranean Bearings, the duo's first album in almost 6 years, is out now
Praise for Borghi | Teager:
"The third time is yet another charm for Borghi and Teager. Shades of Bending Light has managed to improve on what was already pretty amazing." -Hypnagogue
"The duo draw the listener into their music using understated means... The result might be described as ambient-styled soundscaping whose lustrous sheen at times exudes a New Age-like placidity without turning soporific in the process." - textura
"Combining the intellectual heft of Jazz and Ambient Music with the appeal of New Age/Contemporary Instrumental Borghi & Teager highlight a range of different tonal modes and musical moods... Their genre strives to lift our inner lives, and [they] are right up there among the best." - Star's End
"Their 'jambient' style...is deep and soulful and gorgeous and pretty damn near perfect... Borghi's ambient washes are ever so deep, quiet eddies of sound in constant motion, and Teager's sax and flute find perfect expressions to complement them, whether it's the rapid trills and fiery run of jazz or long, breathy chords that twist their way through the air." - Hypnagogue
“Guitarist Matt Borghi and saxophonist Michael Teager have fashioned a wonderful ambient-styled recording [Convocation] that distinguishes itself dramatically from others in the genre.” - textura
"Awaken the Electric – Live from Star’s End, is in part to hear welcome vestiges of Hassell’s tried and true Fourth World, from the plaintive melodic line to the slow-motion tribal pace, but it is also to hear those same sounds seeking to make peace with the current era. The result is a fascinating aesthetic feedback loop: something from the past taking root in and attempting to sound of the present. And on those terms, the music succeeds." - Disquiet.com
