Eric Chenaux: Dull Lights
In molti lo chiamano come turnista: impressiona dell’artista lo stile dinoccolato, le frasi a singhiozzo e il minimalismo poetico che traspira dalle corde della sua stramba chitarra. Rumori e cigolii che lo piazzano nell’alveo del post-rock, a metà strada tra il circense Tom Waits e le stravaganze alla Devendra Banhart.
Dull Lights, musicato con i fedeli Martin Arnold e Nick Fraser, disegna traiettorie delicate quanto incisive. Autunnale nelle atmosfere, sorprende per il linguaggio e per l’immediatezza. In qualche episodio strizza pure l’occhio alla melodia (“Worn and Gear”, “White Dwarf White Sea”) rivitalizzando la tradizione folk scozzese e le orecchie di chi è in cerca di qualcosa di nuovo.
