商品の紹介
Experimental guitarist/vocalist Eric Chenauxs music is built on unexpectedly pleasant clashes of his warped, heavily processed guitar figures and his soft, gliding vocal delivery. The five pieces (and bonus edited repeat track) on Say Laura add understated electric piano and subtle implied rhythms to the formula, resulting in a gentle smear of spring-like atmospheres that convey relaxed beauty despite their inherent confusion. Chenauxs lilting falsetto and a few minimal pulsing notes open the album on "Hello, How, and Hey." As the song grows over the course of its nine-minute runtime, the instrumental backing wanders through various key changes and applications of effects, with glittering Wurlitzer lines played by Ryan Driver zig-zagging between streams of Chenauxs wobbly wah-wah-coated leads and straightforward romantic vocal melodies. The rhythmic component of Say Laura comes not in the form of traditional drum sounds, but programmed drum machine beats Chenaux used as triggers to activate noise gates on certain guitar tracks, creating the impression of a pulse by stopping and starting the sound in time. This is used to great effect on the languid "There They Were" and the rusty pirouetting of the especially beautiful "Hold the Line," with these ghost rhythms providing an anchor for Chenauxs adventurous pitch bending and noisy experimenting. Long valleys of meandering happen in between more stable sections of the album, particularly on "Your New Rhythm," but these passages are integral to the flow of the album and highlight how thin a line Chenaux walks between structure and complete formlessness. There are surface parallels between Say Laura and Arthur Russells minimal avant pop, but there are also more subtle similarities to Talk Talks floating ambience, the most stripped-down Sun Ra sessions, and the boundless curiosity and willingness to chase impulses that This Heats Gareth Williams explored with the sideways songwriting of his obscure Flaming Tunes side project. In less careful hands, the combination of free range guitar exploration and crooning vocals could come off as awkward or disjointed, but Chenauxs patient guidance makes even the most disruptive moments of Say Laura feel sweet. ~ Fred Thomas
