Yann Encre (on MySpace) is a great paradox. In France, no one can really put him into any category. Yann's music encompasses Gainsbourg and Jacques Brel’s songwritings, Leonard Cohen or Bill Callahan’s folk, Rachel’s neo-classicism, Nico’s bewitching melodies, Lee Hazlewood’s gloomy arrangements and organic electronica’s preciseness. Almost three years after its first album, he releases a truly ambitious and polished up new opus that blends delicate organic instrument fragments and tighly knit collages with an unequalled complex syntax.
