Comment:
indeed, David Lynch has been back for a while through his music (
The
Big Dream (2013)) and the
revitalisation of Twin Peaks in 2017. However, he is also over the
place thanks to tributes paid by others to him. For instance, the
recent 13-notch outing by Etterem which in turn is directly inspired
by Lynch's book
Catching the Big Fish
(2006) by arguing on how to suppress negativity and bring forth more
positivism in one's life. The main idea is to do it through
meditation. On the other hand, it should not be messed up with Dale
Carnegie-alike books of which quixotic appearance to hold on the main
theme provides no viable duration. Musically it is a very interesting
issue extending from plunderphonics and mash-up elements to sultry
post-punk thudding and the most pre-eminent thread, Celtic music
progressions in many variations, through microscopic noises,
provoking sonic effects. At times those numbers chime in a
mind-blowing, majestic way as if The Pogues or The Dubliners were
produced by Simon Jeffes himself. Furthermore, there are also up more
roots related numbers full of minimalist beauty and austere yet
uplifting magic. The aforementioned post-punk and electronically
induced numbers do demonstrate specifically Lynch's mystical,
dreamlike nature towards the art. By citing Lynch the issue shows up
contrasts and turn on the lights (read it as music in the recent
context) and darkness goes. The release is a part of the discography
of an Italian imprint, Nostress. No stress.
