Naoto Kawate, Soren Brothers - Kyoto, Logan (Album)
Musique à écouter, musique à jouer. Le musicien japonais Naoto Kawate à ouvert au public les partitions de ses compositions. Son ami canadien Soren Brothers (Man Meets Bear) les a joué et enregistré.
Il s'agit de 9 pièces de 2 ou 3 minutes en moyenne, jouées au piano. Chacune de ces petites pièces a sa propre personnalité et fait de ce Kyoto, Logan un agréable voyage musical transpacifique. Ce pourrait être un film imaginaire tant ces pièces créent chacune sa scène, son plan, son décor.

Shonsongs - Chansons (EP)
Les 6 titres lo-fi folk se développent sous une formule simple : guitares, voix et piano ou clavier enregistrés sur un petit multipistes portable, à l'exception du dernier, Ellipsis Ellipses, entièrement vocal par Olivia Fetherstonhaugh. Une beau travail encore une fois pour un Sean Travis Ramsay bien entouré.
New EP, new project for Sean Travis Ramsay in the company of Olivia Fetherstonhaugh and Soren Brothers under the name Shonsongs. I guess that means 'Sean songs', by th way the title of the first track is Pronunciations. It opens with the words 'I'm living in a landscape that's unusual to me', a testimony of a musician in perpetual motion in terms of musical projects as well as geographically which is confirmed on Fantasy Home.
The 6 lo-fi folk tracks are developped under a simple formula: guitars, vocals and piano or keyboard recorded on a small portable multitrack, excepted for the last one, Ellipsis Ellipses, entirely made with Olivia Fetherstonhaugh vocals. It is again this time a beautiful work by a well accompanied Sean Travis Ramsay.

Man Meets Bear - Huronian Cadence (Album)
Accroupi sur une terre humide on écoute les 16 titres de Huronian Cadence en rêvassant et on se laisse porter. Ballades folk, instrumentaux bruitistes et doux moments de flottement constituent cette nouvelle oeuvre de Man Meets Bear avec des ambiances qui s'apparentent parfois à The Black Heart Procession ou Deerhunter. Go wild !
Man Meets Bear is back with a beautiful cassette released on the young label Ur. Huronian Cadence is a psychedelic and sonic lo-fi folk music album which breathes the pure air of wide spaces. Distant chants and warm acoustic guitars are carried by misty synthetic waves that doesn't withdraw the organic texture of the songs.
Crouching on the humid ground and daydreaming, the 16 tracks of Huronian Cadence carry its listener to higher places. Folk ballads, noisy intrumentals and sweet floating moments form this new Man Meets Bear work with moods that sometimes remember The Black Heart Procession or Deerhunter. Go wild!
