Elysian Fields - What The Thunder Said
In this world where everything must go fast, the New Yorkers of Elysian Fields voluntarily place themselves out of the race: the ode to slowness punctuated by a few flashes has been part of the music of Jennifer Charles and Oren Bloedow for almost 30 years. years. An alternative always cultivated in elegance, ignoring the movements that surround them.
This thirteenth album does not deviate from the duo's timeless aesthetic, but the addition of two French collaborators, Matthieu Lopez (Matt Low) and Olivier Perez (Garciaphone), undeniably enriches the language of What The Thunder Said: this complement of rhythmic force emphasizes mysterious and melancholy ballads, with touches of dark rock, cabaret, jazz, baroque pop and folk. In the background, the chiaroscuro mixes sensuality and poetry, between urban density and natural landscapes, nourishing introspective, worried reflections, with a strange imagination that always surprises, even in its musical form.
What The Thunder Said is one of the pinnacles of Elysian Fields' discography, yet of a high caliber: racy, captivating and masterful!
