ELODIE (TIMO VAN LUIJK & ANDREW CHALK) — Le Nid d'Ivoire
More Info
...Le Nid dIvoire The Ivory Nest
The breeze of summer evenings
a breath of life and death
the presentiment of blossom time
the shiver of corruption
the present
the here and the beyond
an immense beyond.

"The tremulous, electro-acoustic/ambient beauty Le Nid DIvoire marks the return of Andrew Chalk and Timo Van Luijks enchanted duo to the latters La Scie Dore label. It's an engrossing smudge from oneiric wind, brass, keys and string tones to much gauzier, gently psychedelic scenes over the LPs spellbinding narrative arc.
With intravenous stealth and efficacy Le Nid DIvoire gets right under the skin and soothes the senses with its glacially unfolding pace and sensuous smoke-curl dynamics. It starts out recalling the soundtrack to a film noir, but ends up ripe to soundtrack scenes of druggy, psychedelic experiments or a slow burning, furtive romance, conjuring heavy-lidded osmosis, letting the soundtrack drift over you during the dying light of a winter afternoon.
Where the first side is marbled with wistful melody that wraps us up in its tale, their musical storytelling really comes into its own on the B-side with the title trackss tip-of-tongue tremble redolent of everyone from Loren Connors to Akira Rabelais, leading into the elegantly pulsating chamber ambience of Calice et Croix before they ultimately transmute into shimmering spiritual resonance with the hyaline strokes of Mridien to leave us blissed to bits."
