melodium – la tete qui flotte (autres directions in music)

and again autres direction in music. we had enough time to meet this label by now and we already know their dreamy electronic pop very good. after nine mp3 releases this is their first cd release! also we already know melodium. he had two autres directions releases, but also couple for other nice labels around, like: active suspension, peter i’m flying, disasters by choice, static caravan and grounded. sound is again somewhere around dreamy pop electronics. acoustic melodies, warm sound layers, pianos and guitars are still here. broken rhythms and melancholic vocals are here as well. this release is mix of various recordings made outside with portable minidisk recorder, recorded guitars in the wood, rhythms made by finger snapping in the country, but also keyboards, melodicas, flutes, jambs, xylophones, balafons, jew’s harp… than everything is combined and produced on computer at home into fine amalgamation between acoustic and electronic pop. another innovation here are vocals, made by melodium himself, his friend dudley, his young niece lais-salome massoussi and his girlfriend violaine barbault, giving to couple songs nice melodic, childish or melancholic feel. la tete… is highly emotional record. you can listen to it when you are blue and also when you are happy. while listening you can feel high as well as down. think about what you feel. introspect and surrender to the music.
