Free Music Review: I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Hit: 5 Stars
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD APRIL MARCH, I LIKED HER FROM THE START. SHE IS DIFFRENT FROM THE MUSIC YOU HEAR TODAY. ALSO THE INSTRUMENTALS ARE AMAZING. IF YOU LIKE TO HEAR SOMETHING DIFFRENT THAT IS NOT THE USUAL MUSIC YOU HEAR ON THE RADIO, THEN THIS IS THE ALBUM FOR YOU.
Chrominance Decoder Poster
This entirely original and strange record ultimately seduces with a quirky grace. Where does one begin to describe what's contained within Chrominance Decoder? A melange of '60s girl pop, Y? Y?, garage rock, Beach Boys harmonies, Gainsbourgian crooning, spy-movie soundtracks, cheezy jazz, Japanese "idoru" preening, trip-hop grooves, Lolitaesque come-ons, loungy dithers, and cartoon ditties--the genius behind this delicious concoction is Elinor ("April March isn't my Christian name," she coos), a California girl by way of New England who sings in both French and English with unconscious ease. Wow. --Tod NelsonUsing faux French '60s lounge pop as the starting point for her sonic discourse, Elinor Blake, a.k.a. April March, displays plenty of musical savvy and the rare ability to come up with a good hook. As April March, she uses her kittenish voice in the style of Parisian chanteuses like Fran?oise Hardy. French producer Bertrand Burgalat lends a spare, sophisticated musicality to the record, arranging delicate layers of electronics and horns around March's slick studio ensemble. With heady instrumental interludes, fragile acoustic ballads, and Stereolab-style rock flourishes, March seems to be a substantial musical enterprise as well as an interesting alter ego for the talented Blake. A warning, though: she sings pure pop in French, and the whole vibe here is extremely precious. --Mitch Myers
