Downright pleasant and calm: Folky guitar-led instrumentals with a touch of country twang. VERY surprising given this guy usually hangs with avant-garders like Fred Frith. It's not quite Americana -- chords often get dissonant, without breaking the serene mood. Think of it as a cross between new age (in a good way) and folk. Probably too pretty for avant-garde shows and too slow for rock/pop shows, but... there's certainly a place for it. Berthiaume's guitars (acoustic, some electric) are the star, but you've also got occasional drumming and bass, a steel guitar (2) and a string trio (11). 1- Charming twang plus drums 2- Heavy guitar vibrato, slow, some dreamy steel guitar 3- Gentle waterfall flow of notes, a few dissonant moments 4- Pleasant intro, into mysterious chords finger-picked 5- Calm swaying, nervous scratching percussion 6- Banjo? Steely, bouncy sounds, a quietly joyous sun shower 7- Tough cowboy-film tones, a bit of a departure. Cool. 8- Sleepy, nice, very Western 9- Chiming new agey tones, shimmery 10- Bright, sparkly 11- Mid/slow and pretty; adds strings for some edgy tones | ||
