...according to our Brian on 29 November 2006.

Herman Dune. They're French you know. Beards are in evidence. Bob Dylan may have guested on their sterogram at some point. And Lou Reed. This is pleasant enough stuff actually. Tuneful & earthy gear with folk & country tinges. I was soooo expecting to go on some kind of homicidal rampage after hearing 'Not On Top' but It really does have some real charm, warmth & soul. 15 tracks, CD only on Track & field. I'm shocked to heartily recommend this.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The Paris based Swedish / Swiss trio of André, David and Neman Herman Düne return with their 6th LP of lo-fi folk beauty. On this occasion they’re augmented by Canadian Julie Doiron (formerly of Eric’s Trip) on bass and backing vocals.

Not on Top was made in Leeds, England with former Sonic Boom collaborator, Richard Formby, and recorded in mono. Why mono? Well, mono just sounds best, of course. As David-Ivar puts it, ‘If you're cooking in you're kitchen and your stereo is in the next room, what are the chances that you're gonna be right in the middle of the two speakers? Stereo is such a Renaissance approach to music. The artists, the producer, the sound guy, want you to be sitting somewhere in particular, between the two speakers. Listening to stereo CDs, while driving on tour, I noticed it’s not fair that the driver only gets the left speaker mix. It’s kinda dumb, right?
