American singer / songwriter Vic Chesnutt is a worldwide cult hero with a status of his own. His music can sound frayed and morbid but also very unexpectedly sweet and melodic and thus explore the limits of the mainstream. This earned him the admiration of many colleagues; from its discoverer Michael Stipe to Madonna who collaborated with brother-in-law Joe Henry on the Chesnutt tribute album Sweet… Relief vol 2 (1996). At the initiative of friend and filmmaker Jem Cohen, Chesnutt settled in the Hotel2Tango studio in Montreal. This is managed by members of the post rock groups Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. They leave a firm mark on this fourteenth album by Chesnutt and especially add a lot of dynamism to the songs: from hushed strings to autumnal soundscapes and unexpected guitar and organ eruptions. In doing so, they certainly get the best out of Chesnutt, who always manages to evoke an indeterminate melancholy with his characteristic crackling voice. A collaboration that leads to an intense listening experience. (MR)more
