 ...according to our Phil on 20 November 2008.
I think Arbol are up to their 3rd album and I couldn't tell you a thing about 'em aside from they're Spanish (I think). OK so I can't even tell you that. What sort of reviewer am I? Piss poor I think you'll find. Anyway I'm enjoying this album by them. It's all new to me and I like hearing new artists which aren't shit (there's a lot of gash out there...). 'You Travelled my Heart Inside Out' kicks off and it reminds me of Piano Magic crossed with Murcof. Weird gothy sounding folky soundtracky gear with some early style Murcof clicks and beats. It's surprisingly good actually. Lots of tinkly electronics, plenty of clicks and cuts, mardy strings, some delicious piano and the occasional delicious vocal (though it's largely instrumental). This sounds like it should have come out on Make Mine Music. It's absolutely gorgeous and I can't recommend it enough!! Comes in a fancy trifold digipak or whatever you call 'em. CD only on Lejos Discs from Spain.
What their label says...
Arbol´s 3rd release “You Travelled my Heart Inside Out” is out now. Miguel Marín, aka Arbol, continues to walk a path that the enigmatic lushness of his previous work cannot erase. Where a clearing in the forest of "Dreams made of paper" (Lejos Discos, 2005) forced us to linger over songs that poured down on us as a sudden and marvelous light before continuing on our mottled passage, the select track of "You Travelled my Heart Inside Out" opens like a delta to new and wide pastures, bringing calm waters to soak the feet of the city. For this new release, Miguel has collaborated with Suzy Mangion, D-fried and the Japanese singer Eri Makino. It was recorded between 2004 and 2007 in London, Barcelona and Tokyo and confirms the crucial role played by Miguel Marín in the development of imaginary soundtracks as an independent musical genre. “You Travelled my Heart Inside Out” shows the influences that Arbol´s music has been subject to in recent years as he moved between three completely different cities, three distinct ways of seeing music and life.
Track list: you travelled my heart inside out / nomi / avio / 01_29 / my life is full of rivers and mountains / yume utsutsu / dreams / 00_58 / garda / maria is a bird
