(Rating: 3.8/5)
In this new album, Yann Tiersen has completely walked away from our beloved classical/orchestral french folk/pop that we can see how good of a contemporary music composer, violin player and music minimalist he is......intimate/romantic french mood of accordion, violin, piano and toy instruments have no more played main role this time, and instead traditional rock instruments of guitars/drums have been taking the focus to relief Yann Tiersen's dark and sad mind (for the death of his mother recently?!) playing some emotional post punk stuffs as the below statement in his web site....
"Let's live in an enormous world of sound we can use randomly, with no rules at all. Let's play with sound, forget all knowledge and instrumental skills, and just use instinct – the same way punk did."
Although needing a bit of time to adapt his new music direction, by not thinking back his past works, this new album is still worth a listen.....
