What a beautiful name this man has. "(Matthew) Fanuelle is a peculiar guy. Living in New York, he wears earplugs most of the day. In this silence he finds his song. Loud and clear." I really don't have enough good things to say about this guy. I wish he'd write more music, quite frankly, because this may be the best pop album of the past decade. Almost every song on the album is one you can nod your head and tap your foot to. Much like a subdued Go-Kart Mozart, this is a truly eccentric and unique pop masterpiece. His voice is dynamic, yet seemingly effortless and organic, his music ubiquitous and compelling, at once familiar and distinct. Pleasant piano arias, over well-composed synthetic sound sculptures accompanied by ambiguous. drifting lyrics are a few qualities which define Fanuelle. Another noticeable aspect of this album is the occasional inclusion of spliced cuts of various television/movie samples, which add a strange dimension to the already multi-layered tracks. This is an extraordinary album, and heads in a direction that I only wish more modern DIY musicians would follow.
