Taylor Deupree - journal (2011, Champion Version)

After having being disappointed by "Shoals" (2010), my expectations about new releases by Taylor Deupree were reduced to a minor magnitude, but this new single (of two four minutes tracks) edited at 100 copies is a salutary shock.

It's a kind of complete reversal, after the technical and disconnected "Shoals", we discover two very personal, fragile and intimate songs - even one with vocals -, through a quite minimalist approach:  a synthesizer, some field recordings, delicate sound processing and a few effects to give authenticity.
