Product DescriptionEric Chenaux is one of Toronto s most prolific musical iconoclasts, an experimental guitar
virtuoso with over two decades of dedicated and diverse service to an artistic community
that encompasses postpunk, lo-fi, folk, multi-media composition and performance and
free and improvised music.
This is Eric s third album for Constellation, which has been the conduit for his primary
song-oriented solo work since 2006. Building on his fruitful collaboration with piano/
synth/melodica player Ryan Driver, the new record is without doubt Chenaux s most
accomplished and focused work of forward-looking, contemporary balladry. The overall
effect is often akin to an interstice of Talk Talk, Palace-era Will Oldham and Richard
Youngs. This is some of most subtly sophisticated and satisfying avant-folk music we
know.
