Lilium

Music project led by Pascal Humbert and Jean-Yves Tola, both associated with 16 Horsepower; known for the album Short Stories.

Short Stories features guests mentioned in reviews: David Eugene Edwards (vocals on "Whitewashed"), Dana Colley (sax on "Cavalcade" and "The Trap"), Kal Cahoone (vocals) and a guest appearance by Tom Barman. The project departs from a strictly folkloric matrix toward melancholic, twilight-tinged songs.

The available review praises Lilium's album Short Stories for its melancholy, twilight atmospheres and strong performances by Pascal Humbert and Jean-Yves Tola. Guests include David Eugene Edwards and Dana Colley. Minor production choices (an intrusive keyboard) are noted as the only real flaw.

For:Fans of 16 Horsepower, listeners of melancholic folk/alt-country and Leonard Cohen-style songwriting.
