Songs of Green Pheasant : Aerial Days (US,2006)***
The first track, “Pink By White” shows already a warm production sound, a song which I prefer to list in the cradle rhythm category (-while some other music uses handclap rhythms, inside-the-head hanging rhythms, knee moving rhythms, feet-on-a-towel rhythms, and so on). The well contributing arrangements here are produced with a certain spatial dreaminess and a delicate pop catchy pleasantness, qualities which can be found anywhere on the album. On “Remembering and Forgetting” the dubbed echoes on the voice makes these additional voice echoes sound as if the singer gets an accompanying monks chorus. Other sparse arrangements add colourful delicate contrasts to the instrumental parts. All tracks are slightly differently arranged which gives the idea of songs like different sections of a concept, like the songs could be like different shops in a shopping centre of expressions. Also an interpretation of Beatles “Dear Prudence” is added. It shows the singer’s interest in the harmony vocal group which The Beatles were. The song is in a very catchy way dreamy danceable, uplifted to more recent independent pop production ways and ideas. Last track, “Brody Jacket” is a soft and moody simple dreamy outro instrumental, lead by amplified acoustic guitar, with layers of trumpet, bass, keyboard bells, as an improvised goodbye.
