BLANK UNSTARING HEIRS OF DOOM
Jana HUNTER
- Ref. XH935A
- GNOMONSONG, 2005.
"The recordings' varying degrees of audibility add to the project's immediacy. At one end of the spectrum there's "Heatseeker's Safety Den", which sounds like it was recorded on an answering machine. Hunter's voice and guitar are constantly distorted, and the string arrangements sound as if they're coming from a few rooms away. Although Hunter's plummy vocals have all the wonderful reedy qualities of a pre-bebop jazz singer, the recording's amateurish quality lends authenticity to the song's spontaneous "confessional" feel."
Voici la part de rêve de CocoRosie, avec moins de fragilité et plus d'écriture. Un sentiment de spontanéité, de légère fêlure, tant dans la voix que dans l'instrumentation. Un chant et un regard tournés vers le pays des morts. Jana Hunter, d'une voix résolue, sur un ton délavé de folk, blues, gospel évoque les précarités de la vie, les départs sans retours, ce que les anges en pensent... avec de l'humour en prime. PCO
