Tear Ceremony
Description: An exquisite masterpiece of ambience, a soundtrack to the subconscious or a faltering template of memory. Sounds, and the images they provoke, are amplified, exaggerated, placed under the microscope; like choosing the tiniest spot on a photograph and enlarging it, taking it all out of context to reveal the graininess, the impurities and the magic therein of the simplest form.
Crushed Stars
Description: Enamored of refracted sunlight and beams through leafy trees; it’s careful, considered, graceful, and in love with the feel of warmth on eyelids. In addition to Gautreau’s hushed vocals — he continues the line from Nick Drake to the Clientele — Gossamer Days features a lot of softly-tumbling guitar lines and slow-motion moments that allow for everything to unfold at its own speed. Pretty damn dreamy throughout; with its knowing solitude and broadly romantic lyrics, it features the sort of sound you’d imagine as the score to your fantasy autumn relationship with a pretty college professor. “We talked about Camus, we listened to Burt Jansch…the collars on our sweaters got in the way of our kissing.”
Sonogram
Description: Sonogram collects some rather unusual sounds and bleeps assembled around more recognizable electric pianos, guitars or flutes, organised into low-key constructions… compositions have a definite cinematic twist to them. Beautiful creations such as Proximity, Dramamine, Mood Ring, the short interlude of Soft Geometry, or Aeronaut are all intense and evocative
