Proving to be a restless sonic chameleon, Adeline Hotel (the moniker of multi-instrumentalist Dan Knishkowy) never makes the same record twice. Inspired by the likes of Jim O’Rourke’s transmuting discography, Adeline Hotel’s recent records range from fingerpicking guitar, jazz-tinged atmospheric compositions, and orchestral art pop. With nods to the likes of Gillian Welch and John Martyn, his latest, Whodunnit, is a kaleidoscopic autumnal tapestry that brings Knishkowy’s precise lyrical talents to the forefront.

Dan Knishkowy’s Adeline Hotel takes many forms, from blues-folk guitar to pensive piano ballads to this, an exercise in breezy, carefully orchestrated jazz, dense with strings and woodwind instruments but full of light and air and clarity. This is buoyant, serene music, without much sweat or strain in it.
