Rls Notes
Picture You, inhabits an aural landscape thatÆs all its own: a panoramic,
constantly evolving spectacle marked by layers of intertwining guitars,
richly textured keyboards and a rhythm section adept at skewed tempos
and a tendency to veer off in unexpected directions.
Christoffer GunrupÆs anguished croon drifts through the slowly
intertwining melodies of ôBrokenö, which concludes in a hushed pastoral
interlude of voice and chiming guitars. ôSafe Islandö floats on a sea
of reverb drenched feedback, while ôThe Headless Boyö drops a bit of folky
Nick Drake-like melancholy into the mix. ôBritish guitar stuff, Grunrup
says dryly. Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain - not that
this song is as good as theirs, but it evolved it that direction.
As compelling and enigmatic as expected, Picture You has its own unique
texture and timbre, but Gunrup, an ironic perfectionist who is always
slightly dissatisfied with his work, would rather play music than talk
about it. ôI have no idea how to describe the songs [on any of my records].
I like and hate them all equally. If you theorize about the songs, it ruins
the tension and passion. Just shut the fuck up and play, but play good.ö
The Amazing is comprised of singer-songwriter Christoffer Gunrup, Reine Fiske
of acclaimed neo-psych group Dungen, Fredrik Swahn, Alexis Benson and lauded
jazz drummer Moussa Fadera.
