Free Music Review: Jorane's music is on its own astral plane.
Hit: 5 Stars
When I bought Jorane's first album Vent Fou, I immediately discovered that it worked marvellously well as temp music for films I was cutting. Her songs are like short experimental films in themselves, conjuring such disparate and complex emotions and colours and they seem to pop out of the spectrum of sound. Jorane makes that analogy with her second record -- 16mm being a treasured motion-picture-film format, especially for independent and experimental filmmakers -- and continues on her madcap musical journey with another record that's never going to get played at parties or on the radio, but will thrill the judicious listener with its unstoppable audacity.While Vent Fou reminded me of Sinead O'Connor's The Lion and the Cobra, this record conjured up Lisa Germano with its opening tracks "Ghost" and "By Foot from...", which are much more fragile and tender than anything on Jorane's first record. The two tracks flow into each other so seamlessly that I always think they're one song if I'm not looking. "Pour Gabrielle" shows that Jorane can write a more traditional-sounding (relatively!) French folk tune if she wanted to; the three-part songs "Film I, II and III" are sweeping in their dramatic cello moans and Jorane's gorgeous vocals; and "Chouette" is Zappa-esque in its bouncy, humorous percussion.
Come to think of it, this record sounds a little like Joe Hisaishi -- in French, on LSD. I think my desperate attempts to make comparisons to pre-existing artists is simply a response to Jorane's baffling musical imagination. She is, in a word, unclassifiable. And no doubt I will keep listening -- Jorane is like a mirror into parts of the consciousness you can't access through normal means.
