Comment: YlangYlang is
the prolific (French) Canadian Catherine Debard whose 11-track issue is pure
sonic joy for filling your sunshiny day. Her sound consists of a sort of sound
which was popularized by such artists as Julia Holter, Maria Minerva, Laurel Halo,
Grimes. More concretely, it consists of vowel effects which used to sway from
one channel to another or one vowel sample is simply superimposed by other ones
thereby either creating psychedelic or crystalline sense. Furthermore, Debard`s
issue is varicoloured with some free folk compositions where concrete music
drenched backgrounds create fairly unusual feeling to bold guitar chords in the
foreground. The release finishes off with a soothing ambient composition where
briny undulation is brought to the front. In a nutshell, the outlet is a fair notch of the blossoming Canadian music scene and was certainly one of the best albums in 2014.
