'Eklaasera' is the fifth album by this French duo. Made of acoustic recordings only, using ten classical and acoustic instruments including piano, cello, violin, guitar, trumpet, accordion, bass, chime and various percussion and experimental sounds. The female voice is still entirely in French, a major characteristic of the otherwise ever-changing Life's Decay. The voice walks among the instruments, sometimes whispered, sometimes energetic but always anchored to the project's universe. 'Eklaasera' cannot be placed in a single musical style--it travels through various influences, experimental classical, sometimes some country-folk and even post-apocalyptic jazz. As always with Life's Decay releases, this album comes in a luxurious package with a 16-page booklet containing all the latest artwork and photographs of the project, including lyrics and additional information. |
