Cantaloup - On A Hill Not Far Away (2008)



9.8

/Indietronica, Dream pop, Cowbell indie, Alternative, Epic, Post-rock, Electronic pop, Art pop, Remix, Experimental indie, Baroque pop/

Comment: it is the sophomore album by Thomas Peters firstly issued in 2008 on an unforgottable indie and electronica label, called Aerotone (which is a defunct one at the moment). There are presented 8 tracks, one of them is a gritty remix at Wakeup Call by Hoodwink, and Crooked Rain is a collaborative composition by Cantaloup, and Hoodwink). And of course, much beauty and artful power is added by Eva Paul`s dreamy and ethereal singing. However, the other notches used to shift between subtle indietronica, intimate art pop, contemplative baroque appearances, and epically compelling cowbell indie and post-rock apparitions. In a word, it is a legacy worth to be remembered and listened to at any time.
