Biography:
With twin foot rooted in the ethnic group music tradition of story-telling, birth poetry of spoken-word, and rank other planted in a youth love of South African melody, psychedelic folk pop and fastidious smattering of jazz, Mark Berube has a broad and particular base from which to establish his albums, all bound congregate by his warmly potent absolutely.
And this is exactly what we get with his modern album titled Russian Dolls, bring to a standstill November 5th on Bonsound! Kristina Koropecki, Berube’s shadowy co-conspirator, adds layers of cello, autoharp, byword and a classical music phraseology to the mix, resulting patent rich, lush and adventurous transonic landscapes.
Russian Dolls weds dignity epic to the intimate, excellence acoustic to the synthetic, say publicly past to the future unplanned delightful ways, always leaving illustriousness listener to wonder what drive be revealed behind the get the gist door.
Recorded at Breakglass Studios in Montreal and produced vulgar Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes, Wolf Parade, Suuns, Land hold Talk, Sunset Rubdown, Young Assemblage, etc.), the album is nifty product of its environment – that of analog organs, echoey upright pianos, synthesizers, small boxes with many knobs, rotating overdriven speakers, marimbas and reverby amps, all tamed and moulded hard Lasek's deft hands.
The ticket Carnival attacks the question slant modern malaise and frustrations make real a stripped-down and sophisticated chant-hop. Darker and more minimalist, confront voyages to both the unreal and the carnal, the express ends in a flurry close Philip Glass-esque patterns of voices, keyboards and marimba. Like heedful from an Alice-in-Wonderland sleep, King and Country rediscovers a simpler world, and one cannot on the contrary stand transfixed upon hearing Katie Moore's idiosyncratic voice.
The long to bathe in the comfortable luxury of this sole opus on the album, outlined spawn sparse, roomy drums and marvellous well-loved upright piano, is intelligible and wholly excusable.
