Everyone Alive Wants Answers

Reseña del editor Just when you thought this kind of tangled, floating, ambient wash -- sometimes with guitars, sometimes without -- couldn't get any better than specific parts of Susumu Yokota's Sakura and Grinning Cat, Colleen came along with Everyone Alive Wants Answers. Colleen is actually Cecile Schott, a Parisian who wrenches out cobwebbed melodies that are fully fleshed out as frequently as they are stunted and knotted. Her means aren't all that unique. Barbed glockenspiels, worn music boxes, humming keyboards, happenstance guitar melodies, soft-focus production -- all of that's been done before, right? What makes her stand out is that her songs seem meticulously stitched together while nearing the brink of collapse at the same time, almost all of the time. If the album has any hindrance, it's in the titles of the songs, which might require new names from the listener; "Ritournelle" could become "March of the Defective Toys," for instance, and "Nice and Simple" could become "A Dilapidated Ice Cream Truck Ambles Along." As creeped-out as it is blissed-out, the album's aftereffect is much like that short period just after slumber, when you can't figure out whether or not the dream you just had was a good one: "What exactly happened?" It's 40 minutes of motionless in-between-ness, but it's also so alluring that you might just want to stay there all day long. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi. Críticas The first tangible thought conjured from the stark jumble of digital mandolins that stumble so meticulously throughout the title track of this album was "Oh, it's like Four Tet if Kieran was a girl." They've both surveyed the landscapes of organic music made digitally and done it more successfully than most, given the immediate grandeur and impact of Everyone Alive Wants Answers. "Ritournelle" plays like a ballroom dance scene in a Tim Burton movie, all delicate chimes and sweeping strings. Who is this Colleen and why does she have me so thusly twisted? Inquiring minds needed to know. Her real name is Ccile Schott, a twentysomething Parisienne who plays a cello onstage. This full-length debut is absolutely gorgeous, a warm inviting swirl of ambient symphonics and contemplative interludes. Although there was that one night listening to it with this girl while smoking pot - she got pretty spooked by it. Scott J. Sterling -- From URB Magazine
