Comment: this is a cute issue, a sublime drift between dreamy insights and a more buffoonish singing manner and some vocal trickery. In a word, the French singer Ottilie used to rehash the chanson music tradition in a modern appearance being accompanied by acoustic string instruments and Parisian street accordions. As you can see I have had only a few words to describe this beautiful issue. However, it is very nice by any means. The issue is a part of the catalogue of Acoustic Firework, and Jamendo.

Comment: by listening to this handful of German sung ditties by Peter Schuhmacher it could be said it is needed no much trickery and more harmonic and melodic intersections to make up a solid folk album. The issue thrusts with slow combustion and natural rolling to gather more energy throughout the course. For instance, listen to Ich Kann Jetzt Nicht Nach Hause Gehen, which is coated with sublime guitar twangs and velvety harmonics. Sturm, and Kleine Kleine Welt is supported by more other instruments than guitars in a slight manner. In fact, at Sturm one could hear a great, slightly abrasive noise effect in fact. In a nutshell, let’s get this issue and enjoy it.

Comment: Shoegaze, dream pop, post-rock - all of that has ruled for some decades and will obviously be ruled as well. Just some elements will be added to. All the aforementioned styles are gathered on an issue, carved out by the Philadelphia-based group Pilot Cloud, the combo of Justin Lerner (guitar/vocals), and Nick Biscardi (drums, synth). Their concept makes the listener feel really relieved and blessed. Blissed-out guitar lines used to tower up to the clouds having a little bit more disparate (technical) vision than the usual experience of it used to be for. Moreover, it is not a daily fact for shoegaze/indie groups striving for a bunch of street records/found sound aspects to interweave it into the mix.
