Product Description

Limited edition four panel wallet-pack plus booklet of illustrations and drawings by Devandra. 2009 album from the acclaimed singer/songwriter. What Will We Be has a sunny, breezy feel with performances that evoke warm, lazy afternoons spent with good friends. The album is dominated by powerfully melodic, mid-tempo numbers played with relaxed expertise. But there's also ambitious stylistic range displayed with the inclusion of evanescent ballads like 'Meet Me at the Lookout Point,' the epic riff-rocker 'Rats', sprightly R&B flavored groovers on 'Baby,' and the sultry Latin-flavored stunner 'Brindo,' and the Roxy-inspired '16th & Valencia Roxy Music' among other pleasant surprises. The album was recorded in a sleepy Northern California town throughout the Spring of 2009, and was co-produced by Paul Butler (from UK outfit Band of Bees).

投稿日:2009/11/25 (水)

'09年発表。ザ・ビーズのポール・バトラーを相棒に作り上げた、平均気温27度の南半球ポップ絵巻。以前から近似値とされてきたカエターノ・ヴェローゾ的楽曲と美しい天気雨のようなアトモスフィアが聴く者を深く包み込む。ポール・マッカートニーの初期作品にも似た温かな音像もパーフェクト。フワリと訪れる非現実。鼻にはよく熟れたオレンジのような香りを錯覚。この幽玄さ、美しさは、天才を超えた天才の偉業。文句なしでしょう。
