Vermillion is Kit Downes‘ third album as leader on ECM, the first being his church organ exploration Obsidian, and the second the Dreamlife of Debris album recorded with a quintet including Tom Challenger, Lucy Railton, Stian Westerhus and Seb Rochford. This latest album is recorded by the trio with Petter Eldh on bass and James Maddren on drums, with whom Kit has been working for many years. Interestingly, the group is named by the three musicians rather than by ENEMY, under which they have recorded and toured in the past.

The album is extremely listenable; the mood throughout is gentle, contemplative and lyrical. As expected from a trio that has been together for a long time, the interaction and understanding between the three is excellent, and there are many beautiful passages in which they are equal partners in creating intricate and memorable melodies.
