PRETTY ATMOSPHERIC POP Amatorski is a group from Belgium, comprising female and male vocalists, guitars, keys, electronics, bass and drums. Most tracks are slow, lush, pretty. This set contains both a full-length LP and a reissued earlier EP. No FCC issues. Main CD: 1 Slow. Instrumental. Music box prettiness with synth background. Not much to it. (2:37) 2 * Slow. Electronic pops & clicks, a delicate female voice, then layer upon layer. (4:23) 3 ** Slow. Gentle ballad. Soft voices over a drum beat. Nice guitar & piano bridge. (3:51) 4 Mid-fast. Big, richly layered electronic production. Instrumentation of all sorts. (4:00) 5 * Mid-slow. Opens with drum cadence. A bit jazzy. Quiet, vulnerable vocal. (5:16) 6 Very slow. Snare, cymbal, and organ. Like a funeral march. (7:37) 7 Slow. Toy piano, girlish voice for 40 sec. Brass band in the park for ~2 min. Dead air for ~6 min. Misc strange sounds, old radio signals, etc for ~3 min. (11:50) Included EP: “Same Stars We Shared” 1 Slow. Saccharine sweet. Tiresome rhythm. Synth strings. Play only as a novelty. (2:55) 2 ** Slow. Drums with brushes. Heavy piano. Half spoken lyric. Oddly compelling. (4:31) 3 * Mid-tempo. Guitar arpeggios. Girlish voice. Folkie. Nice instrumental ending. (2:16) 4 VERY slow. Thin vocal. Strings. Painful. (3:29) | ||
