Two-and-a-half years in the tinkering, Anthony Rochester's
much-anticipated second long player is a producer's album: densely
layered melodies and sounds, sounds, sounds! Start with that classic
bass sound of the French 60s (think Serge Gainsbourg or, more recently,
Bertrand Burgalat). Add a truckload of keyboards (piano, Hammond,
classic synths...the portamento button even gets a mention in the album
thank-yous), guitars galore, strings, operatic "Star Trek" backing
vocals, flutes, off kilter recorders, etcetera etcetera. Top with
Anthony's laid back vocals and wayward, shy-guy charm. Mr. Rochester
plays almost everything himself, from drums to violin, but still pulls
in a good handful of guests, among them Norwegian future-pop maestro
Micromars (whose electronics soup up the album's aching, dreamy finale)
and the mezzo-soprano from next door.
Matt Jones of The Hepburns (who penned the lyrics for two of the songs)
describes Anthony's music as a "stained-glass window...It is music for
interiors, bored Tuesday afternoons with nothing much to do but with a
smouldering-cigarette desire to do something, music to fill the void
like particles of dust illuminated by coloured light."
Mastered by Jiri Adamik-Novak (Cinnamon), who never says more than a
word or two about anything, except in the case of this album, where he
used at least 30.
Reference points: Komeda, Bertrand Burgalat, Eno's Another Green World,
Remington Super 60, Shuggie Otis, Stereolab.
