C'est quoi maintenant ?

Seth > Entièrement d'accord avec toi pour le violoncelle, c'est sûrement le plus bel instrument qui soit.

Much more than a song album, this is an incredibly arranged masterpiece of a song album, bringing forward the idea as if a whole orchestra and singers are gathered to make some theatrical, almost operatic stage song-theatre possible. Vuk herself plays a lot of instruments, and arranged whole choirs of backing vocals, but she also got help of 9 musicians on guitar and different brass instruments. -(live she performs alone on pump organ and with her band, mostly a trio-). Immediately strong on the first track, this one reveals a background choir of vocal arrangements as if participating in an exotic big crowd 40s-50s movie, sung with a rich descriptive emotionality and a wide vocal range, and with full drama, while a theremin sound lies between the atmosphere of an orchestra and the sound of a voice. Here she sounds pretty much like Faun Fables, revealing with a stage appearance a world to describe with full colour images in different stage lights. The vocal arrangements are never the same, and show often different polyphonic qualities in the arrangements, are soulful and still song telling. As rhythms we hear handclaps and drums, or kalimba and piano and such, while accordion adds melodramatic sadness. Besides organ we also hear great brass arrangements enriching the drama (once a bit different with English horn and oboe). Fans of Faun Fables or some other theatre stage related female vocalist that takes care of the band arrangements, and also others, will love this for sure.
