Skyline

（レーベルサイトより）

Yann Tiersen will release his seventh studio album, Skyline, on April 17, 2012 via Anti- Records. Skyline finds Tiersen taking a confident step forward, cementing the sound of its darker sister, the critically acclaimed Dust Lane.

Says Tiersen, “Strangely while Skyline musically comes across as lighter and happier than Dust Lane the subject matter is somewhat darker - there is certainly a sense of moving on and what thoughts are left having dealt with loss”.

"Monuments,” the first single release from Skyline, shows Tiersen and his band own the world he now inhabits, a world of vintage synths, electric guitars, all unpinned by his incredible songwriting and musicianship. It’s a marked contrast to the man that people imagine they know (Tiersen also wrote the international soundtrack hits for the films Amelie and Goodbye Lenin), but it’s a world that he would argue he’s been in all along - it’s only now everyone else is catching up."

In “Monuments” a lyrical repetition muses our place in the world and the traces of ourselves we leave behind – “all monuments of men, they’re sinking in vain”. And yet, wrapped in a chorus of vocals and shimming guitars the message isn’t dark, rather it’s full of hope.

Yann Tiersen (ヤン・ティルセン)

2001年４月下旬にフランスで公開され大ヒットを記録したジャン・ピエール・ジュネ監督の最新作「アメリ」でかわいらしい音楽が気になった方も多いのではないだろうか。ちょぴり遊び心のあるヤンチャなパリジャンっぽいところもあれば、スノッブな一面も見せる時もあったり、そして音楽性も古き良きミュゼットやシャンソン・ポップスに敬意を払ったクラシカルな雰囲気を決して捨てない。やっぱりフランス人はアコーディオンが似
