“Love will be done just as it has been. I’ll go away away with the leaves on every tree when I awake to the other world in me. There’s my love and there are my leaves” Eric Chenaux’s gentle falsetto is the most constant, tangible element on this album characterized by a permanent state of flux. The guitars are warbly and unsteady with their fluctuating tones, volume and pitch, sometimes sounding like a warped Fahey LP that sat in the sun too long. Even the way they were recorded accentuates this, as the album notes credit sound artist Marla Hlady for “spinning microphones”. Yet, despite their experimental nature, these guitars never sound abrasive and, together with some mellow Wurlitzer, create a soft, pillowy environment for Chenaux’s romantic crooning about the nature of love, the moon, and warm nights. Perhaps this push and pull between temporality and constancy is symbolic of the idea that love is the only reliable thing in a world full of change, or perhaps it means quite the opposite, that love itself is just as ephemeral and impermanent as everything else. Either way, this music is blooming with the beauty and warmth of the kind of love that wells up from the deepest parts of ourselves; embrace it while you can, but if you try to grasp too tightly it will slip away. .
