L’@abconcerts met à l’honneur les femmes dans le milieu de la musique, en particulier celles qui méritent de sortir de l’ombre. Je voudrai vous parler d’ @hannahpeelmusic jeune irlandaise qui ne cesse d’évoluer dans des ambiances électroniques, pop, féeriques ou s’appropriant parfois des hits à l’aide d’une simple boîte à musique à parchemin. Ici son avant-dernier opus, une pure merveille! On pourrait vous en parler des heures, mais le mieux est certainement de l’écouter #noussommestousegaux #ABjourneedelafemme #abconcerts #hannahpeel #awakebutalwaysdreaming #myhipstamaticthing #hipstamatic (à Brussels, Belgium)

Top Ten Albums of 2017 #7 Journey to Cassiopeia @hannahpeelmusic .. #music #hannahpeel #bestalbum #christmas #bestof2017

Hannah Peel - Mary Casio: Journey To Cassiopeia ---------------- This album opens with a fairly rapid, bubbling synth which retrospectively in the context of the album as a whole it really feels like we’re setting off toward somewhere. Confident, synthetic at first and the tone is set for both movement and exploration. Militant drums then join our synths as if to clarify that there is a mission in play but as they dissolve in to a wash of reverb and brass I get the impression as a listener that perhaps this journey has no end and perhaps what we’re looking for is not something we can touch.

I don’t want to spoil this album for anyone by speaking about particular tracks but I will say that it is very symphonic! I think it is all too easy to say that something sounds symphonic or orchestral due to the presence of horns, strings or what have you but when listening to Mary Casio it appears to me that this album was conceptualised in a symphonic way. The pieces never, ever sound like a synth part assigned to a horn or a small demo being padded out with lush, thick harmony. The horn arrangements do sound very British to me but never cross the line into being pompous or unnecessarily grandiose. There is symbiosis here. Symbiosis between the story and the production, between present and future, between acoustic and electric.

The sound of this record is stunning! When a work tries to make us think about the skies and space I think it’s important that we, as listeners get to hear the air in the recording. The recording quality here delivers exactly that which allows the acoustic instruments to breath and perhaps more importantly it allows the synths to appear more organic and more human than they otherwise might have.

Some reviews I read claim that Mary Casio belongs in a Blade Runner movie but I think this is a very narrow, overly simplistic look at music composed for the near future with a space theme. Yes there’s the occasional tampered-with vocal sample but to me that is where the comparisons end. One of the more striking moments to my ear is the vocal sample that appears at the end of the final track ‘The Planet of Passed Souls’. The vocal sample(?) here is more asian-sounding in it’s notes and phrasing and the treatment it has received makes it sound very reminiscent of Joe Zawinul’s solo work after he left the groundbreaking jazz fusion act Weather Report. More importantly I feel that within the narrative of the album I suddenly felt not only that I was now somewhere far from home but that I had no idea quite how I got there. Despite how foreign this new land feels, I do not feel threatened as a listener. In fact, I could happily hear a follow-up to this album; perhaps ‘Arrival at Cassiopeia’? The exploration could have continued further to a second LP but perhaps it is more dramatic leaving the rest of the journey to our imaginations given that Hannah Peel has ignited such a beautiful spark with what she has given us.

I love this album and I urge you to get a copy.

It provides imagery much more vivid than many films I have seen in recent years.
