A
six song e.p. on the Siesta label, with beautiful artwork and beautiful melodies.
Each track uses acoustic instruments mixed with drum machines and soothing keyboards to great effect - softly plucked piano lines moving against female vocals sung mainly in Spanish, but alternating between that, French and English on some tracks.
This cd reminded me a lot of the first Autour De Lucie album. Almost to a T really - especially track 3 Petits Suicide. But really Autour De Lucie has always been a band and this disc is truly the work of two people perhaps with a little outside help.
This disc is pretty much mid-paced throughout - never getting too obtrusive although Track 6 Charol has some heavier guitar in it and a more strained vocal.
At a mere 20 minutes this disc definitely left me wanting more by Plastic D'Amour - so here's hoping we get a full length in the near future.
