JOEL THIBODEAU's slender, seductive voice is both so comforting and so unsettling that it might be the greatest of his many assets. The way JOEL sings, balancing intensity and contemplation, allows him to reach a timeless space where he evokes the beauty of vanished people and places, the sweetness that cannot be put into words, and losses too great for tears. For his third album, "Island Intervals," JOEL settled in Reykjavik, invited by JONSI, Sigur Rós's singer, and producer ALEX SOMERS. Together, they spent three months working on this record, which represents a cycle in JOEL's career but, above all, a window onto a mysterious and singular landscape. From the sublime opening track "Ejecta" to "Loom," which tenderly concludes the album, the melodies of "Island Intervals" are the perfect envelopes for a unique voice.
