How can one review an album like this, made of pure singer-songwriting, electronic loops, country deviations(!), classical arpeggios, ambient music, minimalist noise, folk ballads and more? How can one discuss it in a rational and objective way when all these references are blended together creating a balance and lightness that is nothing short of enchanting?
What can be added about an album about which little or nothing is known, not even the band members (band?!)? What about songs titled: "The lemon of Pink," "Tokyo," "Bonanza," "S is for evrysing" (yes, you read that right), "There is no there," etc.?
How can one be objective about an album that's just 36 minutes so beautiful that it escapes any classification? Indeed... I would say it’s almost impossible...
Recommended for: those with minds open 360° and ears... more than just flapping (let's say it's an album "for the few").

Minimalist arpeggios, cinematic samples... an enchanting voice (thanks to Anne Doerner)... a delicately jazz spirit, a dancing and deliberately inconsistent mood.
The taste of the past sneaks into our years to lead us toward the future.
