Melody As Truth:

"Melody As Truth founder Jonny Nash returns to action with his first solo album in four years.

Point of Entry, the Gaussian Curve member's sixth solo set, builds on Nash's recent forays into folk traditions (2020's Poe, made in collaboration with Teguh Permana, and 2021's Suzanne Kraft co-production A Heart So White), while delivering a clear musical evolution.

Over the course of eleven mesmerizing tracks, Nash points the compass gently inwards, casting aside any conceptual frameworks in favor of exploring an imaginative and idealized “personal folk music” that combines elements of traditional acoustic music with the producer's richly immersive interpretation of ambient, a sound he has been developing for well over a decade.

The album was created using a stream of consciousness approach to writing and recording, with Nash utilizing his favored instrument – ​​the guitar, often dosed in atmospheric effects – as a starting point. Throughout, his delicate and evocative playing takes center stage, its melodic lines and finger-picked refrains painting aural images that resonate with positive yet contemplative energy.

From the smudged acid-folk bliss of 'Theories' and 'Eternal Life', to the layered acoustic guitars of 'All I Ever Needed' and the delay-soaked, Durutti Column-esque 'Light From Three Sides', a wide variety of musical textures weave their way throughout the album.

Point of Entry is much more than a mere 'guitar album' – it draws on a rich and diverse palette to achieve its purpose. The delicate saxophone work of ambient-jazz contemporary Joseph Shabason swells on 'Ditto' and 'Light From Three Sides'. Cascading piano lines ripple through the crystal clear sonic waters of 'Face of Another', whilst echoes of Nash's work with Gigi Masin and Young Marco as Gaussian Curve appear in the dancing synth sequences of 'Ditto' and 'Golden Hour'. Nash's reverb-laden voice also appears for the first time since 2016's critically acclaimed Exit Strategies, used delicately throughout the album to conjure up a world of dusk and golden light.

Combining the delicate human touch and naivety of earlier Melody As Truth releases with widened scope and vision, Point Of Entry is arguably Nash's most complete work to date – an album that's as much a statement of his “personal folk” vision as a future ambient classic.
