Our Take

BENOIT PIOULARD's latest offering, "Sylvain", takes listeners on a dreamy, kaleidoscopic journey through moody sonic landscapes. This album is like a musical comfort blanket, wrapping you in warm tones and ethereal melodies.

From the opening track, "Upon the Break Arch", Pioulard's haunting vocals instantly draw you in, effortlessly floating over mesmerizing layers of ambient textures. Each song feels like a carefully crafted sonic tapestry, with intricate details waiting to be unraveled with each listen.

Tracks like "French Dryer" and "March in Yotsuba" showcase Pioulard's ability to blend acoustic and electronic elements seamlessly, creating a rich, cinematic sound that is both familiar and otherworldly. It's like stepping into a vivid dream, where reality and fantasy blur together in a swirling haze of sound.

Although "Sylvain" maintains a consistent mood throughout, it never feels repetitive or stagnant. Pioulard keeps things interesting by introducing subtle variations and unexpected twists, keeping listeners on their toes until the very last note fades away.

Overall, "Sylvain" is a captivating work of art that showcases Pioulard's talents as both a songwriter and a producer. It's the kind of album that rewards repeat listens, revealing new layers and nuances each time. So dim the lights, close your eyes, and let BENOIT PIOULARD's enchanting music wash over you. Trust us, you won't want to wake up from this dream.
