The starting point of Drape Me in Velvet
was a large collection of cassettes and
reel to reel tapes from the 1950s and
1960s, many inherited from relatives.
During the three years the album was
recorded on these tapes, they were
treated and mistreated with tools and
violence. New sounds and instruments
were recorded over the older recordings.
The tapes were mistreated again,
scratched, wrinkled.
Layer upon layer of melodies and tape
memories were brought together to a
whole where music for silent films,
exotic easy listening and French chanson
are some of the strands in the braid.
The result is a historical collage where
the passing of time is heard in
anachronistic piano melodies and
disintegrating chords. Ghosts of former
recordings whisper in the warm
background noise. This is music for
amusement parks with neglected
maintenance.
Drape Me in Velvet is an album so
particular in nature that one gets
ecstatic. The melodies and production
are instantly recognizable as MusetteÆs
own. A new language is created. What's
perhaps the most unique is the marriage
between the world of melodies and the
lust to experiment. Seldom have we heard
music with original ideas about sound
and sound making coming out this
melodious, lovable and accessible.
