Free Music Notes for Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK
Free Music Review: Yesterday's talent is today's pleasure.
Hit: 5 Stars
M?m's work of art deftly blends the frontier between "digital music" with its "avant garde" twists and the more stable, grounded, texturized "instrumental folk".
A smart array of means is used - na?ve/eerie vocals, crash cymbals melt with accordion, whistles, piano, folk guitar, percussions, grinding, flutes, xylophones, chimes and bells - and blended with warped sounds, scratches, aged computer like digital notes ("Smell memory", "Awake/train") or even electronic harpsichord texture ("Random summer"). In "I'm 9 today" soft typewriter touches mingle with gentle xylophones.
Like their previous albums, some of their more typical aural references appear: fairy like melodies and dreamy tingling, giving us that "home orchestra" feel of talented buddies letting their inner children paint in bright and soft colors. However, beneath the apparent casual randomness of the pieces, little by little you will sense there has been great thought put behind these co-mingling of styles, like a great patchwork, revealing itself to you only once you have "relaxed" into it.
Rythms can get complex: counter-point ("Asleep/train" & "Awake/train", prime examples of their musical resourcefulness), delays ("Ballad/records"), triolets, reversals, switches of keys ("Sunday/rolling"), all layered with different tones, instruments to appear, once again, very laid back and of easy access.
All has a soft melancholic touch (the exquisitely intriguing "Slow bicycle"), and an experimental vibe (hear the drum & bass rhythm in "Sunday/rolling"), never heard of, definitely unique. The pleasure to be able to move into this unusual space which bears the typical Mum ambiance but keeps you still bewildered should incite you to get this piece of art.
