Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2008-02-05
M. Khoury and Soderberg team up bringing us string heavy (violin, upright bass, cello) with electronic rumbles and Moog tones. Overall creepy, but avante enough to qualify as downtown jazz in a certain sense. Most tracks are sparse, bursts of strings, rumbles. Definitely nothing over-the-top noisey or too difficult. Would fit in on Romain’s show as well as Soy Ricardo’s.

1) spooky echoey strings and low end
2) low bowed strings mostly, more strings
3) low rumbling noises, looping rhythmic tones with vocal quality, sparse strings
4) old analog Moog synth tones with sparse violin
5) somber violin with moog
6) somber violin and bass become more pronounced, melodic, noisey
7) low rumbles with sparse violin
8) pensive nervous violin, low electronics
9) noisy moog heavy
10) creepy strings with low rumbles, drone
11) brief, rumbles, violin
12) my player had difficulty with this one until about 9 minutes in, but it sounds like a lot of interesting collage at that point
