Eric Chenaux Guitar & Voice

Chenaux what we think? What we think is that Eric Chenaux is bloody brilliant. There is pretty much no-one operating in music today who can coax the range of tones, textures and timbres from a six-string. Guitar And Voice, his fourth LP for Constellation, is another masterpiece from the Canadian. The stretched-out ballads here are so unique that they could pass for Boards Of Canada, something off of Radiohead’s Amnesiac or Chet Baker without ever really sounding much like those things at all. Chenaux's soft, kind voice and quixotic lyrics are the icing on the cake. Guitar And Voice is a singular achievement from an artist who specialises in singular achievements.
