MP3: Le Corbeau - Evening chill / Montréal of the mind
Looks like we're heading into a rainy midsummer weekend, at least in the places it matters. I don't mind though, my garden needs the water and I'm happy for some of the mugginess to get cleared away. Of course that necessitates a soundtrack and I think Le Corbeau might just fit the bill -- unlike most Fysisk Format releases, this isn't very aggressive at all. At least it doesn't start out that way; it does escalate into screaming white noise towards the end on this one track. Mostly though, Le Corbeau does atmospheric instrumentals with a touch of French pop melodicism. The title track of his debut "Evening chill / Montréal of the mind" definitely recalls the former half of the title and maybe even the latter as well, though I wouldn't know as I've never been there. That 2nd part of the piece is definitely evocative though, all screaming scree and chiming overtones, like hard sheets of rain ricocheting off varying surfaces. For a grey day, it'll do just fine.
