Icelandic guitarist Andrés Thor's latest record is a set of highly evocative originals, with the guitarist citing the likes of Pat Metheny and John Scofield as inspirations (and these comparisons aren't totally unfounded). There's also a certain hard-rocking edge to Andrés' music, adding a little spice to the carefully-constructed trio music.
