"The Direct Way To Melancholy" by Benjamin Schoos is an instrumental album filled with chamber pop melodies, supported by sumptuous strings. After the orchestral introduction of "Sans voix," the title track stands out with a plaintive piano and plucked strings. Tracks like "I Love You Sea Monster!" are minimalist with cascading piano, while "Scripted Reality" features optimistic arpeggios. "La grande vallée" highlights the Ondes Martenot of Christine Ott, and "Murmuration" evokes the dreamy moments of Michael Rother. The album concludes with "Droomtuin," a psychedelic collaboration with producer Gilles Martin (Minimal Compact, Tuxedomoon).
