about

FINE BLUE THREAD are pleased to announce the release of their new studio album - WHAT MAKES ME HUMAN. This long awaited recording expands on the trio's signature approach of beautifully crafted and textured contemporary world music compositions - melding Ria Soemardjo's exquisite Javanese influenced vocals with Helen Mountfort's lush baroque cello and Sam Evans's unique melodic tabla and percussion. Master Iranian musician, Reza Kashi brings another soulful, poignant layer to several tracks, with a virtuosic performance on Tar, Setar and Oud.
