Like Ennio Morricone has joined a C86 band
Yann Tiersen has been one of those soundtracky type people who manages to survive in the middle-ground between sophisticated classical music and indie-schmindie, make-and-do cool. It’s a difficult terrain, but he continues to do so with a certain skill. Here he mingles heavily orchestrated folksiness with the sort of chanty folk-mass vocals and jangly strums that have become de rigueur among hipster indie collectives in recent years. There are flutes, melodicas, twanging rhythm sections and assorted beats and bleeps throughout, and ultimately it sounds a bit like Ennio Morricone has joined a C86 band. Good stuff.
Key track: ‘Dark Stuff’
