WAR SHAPES (vinyl)

Description

War Shapes is the 4th album from Annie Lewandowski under the name Powerdove. This instrumentalist, trained in the most sophisticated improvisation, writes and sings sweet, uneasy songs that she then sets out to reveal every zone of discomfort and danger in, by subjecting them to a few carefully chosen disruptors. Thus, her previous albums invited American John Dieterich (Deerhoof, Gorge Trio, Colossomite) and Frenchman Thomas Bonvalet (Cheval de Frise, L'Ocelle Mare) to organize incomparable magnetic fields at the very heart of the melodies, completely renewing the structure and very substance of what is traditionally expected from a pop song. “The choice of sounds and instruments, the melodic ease, the taste for surprise and silences... No chance of having heard such a curiosity in the usual soothing indie folk records.” Magic “Between melodies and dissonances, rectilinear pop and disjointed nursery rhymes, Powerdove has found a fascinating path.” France Musique
