Release.Info :
Kairos is an Ancient Greek word that describes a particularly fortuitous moment
in time. ItÆs also the title of Casey DienelÆs third release as White
Hinterland, the album where this Massachusetts-born, classically-educated
singer-songwriter comes into her own.
Her 2008 album Phylactery Factory û following 2006Æs debut Wind Up Canary,
recorded under her own name while she was studying at New England Conservatory
Of Music, and a rather overly-precious curio sheÆd now rather forget û was a
painstakingly-etched, winningly offbeat set that suggested Dienel was, like
Joanna Newsom, another Freaked Folkie in love with old-time orchestration and
tangled songcraft. She thwarted such attempts at pigeonholing with the same
yearÆs Luniculaire, an EP sung entirely in French, and including a delirious
cover of JÆai 26 Ans, originally recorded by Brigitte Fontaine for Comme a la
Radio, her 1971 collaboration with avant-jazz weirdniks the Art Ensemble of
Chicago.
Dienel throws a further curveball with Kairos, doing away with piano, guitar,
strings û the acoustic instruments that previously made up her palette û in
favour of synths and sequencers, a brave move that entirely pays off. Scoring
her songs with electronica, Dienel is making no vain play for the dancefloor û
rather, Kairos offers hypnotic digital chamber-pop, the minimal orchestration
brilliantly foregrounding her playful and joyous vocals. This contrast, between
the machine music and her most-human vocals, is particularly delicious on the
sublime Begin Again, as sub-bass smudges and percussive clicks and whirrs play
off DienelÆs swooning, lilting voice, pirouetting through effortless pop hooks.
On Amsterdam, industrial clanking builds a mood of grey melancholy, DienelÆs
multi-tracked yowls and yelps puncturing the gloom. No Logic, meanwhile,
strings together loops of percussion and scratchy guitar to cook up a loping
trance-pop somewhere between Eno and ByrneÆs Bush of Ghosts and Konono #1Æs
Congotronics.
ItÆs impressively ambitious, experimental stuff, a brave leap on the part of a
young artist. ItÆs an album that, in translating her Freak Folk into digital 0s
and 1s, finds for Dienel a true, unique voice. ItÆs her golden hour, and you
should bask in it.
