Pospulenn was an alias of Kane Pour (of Tricorn & Queue and Hundreds) that was mainly guitar-based in its sound. Sun People Sleepwalker is a compilation of Kane Pour's recordings under the Pospulenn name, which total up to over an hour in length. This release, I would say, is the best work I have ever heard from Kane Pour as of yet. In all 13 tracks, melodies are layered over one another as the songs build, and each one hits every single note in its key. In the midst of the guitars, field recordings faintly add density. This combination creates a dream-like feeling that seems completely new to me. During their slow builds, the songs begin to sound so lush that they form a drone that is absolute ecstasy. For its entire 69 minutes, Sun People Sleepwalker never loses its momentum. (description taken from olive music)
basically - guitar ripples of the best kind. as a friend of mine puts it - 'soft, arpeggiated totality'.
flown and flewn.
Hi... I came across your blog while looking for some info on "Pospulenn"... And I found a bit here! Thanks for sharing the knowledge... Looks like a nice blog - and some of the other posts look very interesting...
ReplyDeleteOn another note: I fell in love with the picture on top of your blog (rainy day picture taken in China (?!) with the "Bank of Communications" on it). Any chance you could share that picture in a higher resolution with me? I would like to use it for a compilation of Chinese Disco, Soul, Boogie and City Pop favorites... if you don't mind ;-)
Thanks!!! DubMe
