LEILA - Mettle

LEILA - Mettle (Warp) Comentários: LIMITED, DELUXE AND HAND NUMBERED NEW VINYL EDITION - LIMITED TO 500 COPIES FOR THE WORLD AND INCLUDING EXTRA MATERIAL!* Tape's second album manages to outclass their debut offering 'Opera' by building up their uniquely passioned embrace of the world of live acoustic instrumentation. Tape is a trio from Stockholm, Sweden, building their music from a whole array of acoustic instruments, subtle electronics and field recordings. This eight track album manages to combine warm sonics with a slight abstract angle seemingly without any effort at all through the use of banjo, violin, organ, harmonium, accordion, harmonica and trumpet (plus around 10 other exotic instruments). To spotlight individual tracks is not necessary it's the joy you'll arrive at through listening to this album from start to finish that'll really make you fall in love with this CD. At time joyful and at others sadly beautiful, bringing to mind the aura of Mark Hollis' post Talk Talk debut album from 1998. I really can't recommend this album highly enough. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]
