Frou Frou

5 April 2008

Occasionally music comes along that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

The last time this happened it was a completely different genre to this (Arvo Part), but it serves to illustrates that I do not have fixed conceptions about what I like.

I’ve heard the name before, but shied away from it because I thought it sounded a bit shallow. Not a bit of it.

Details is a collaboration between the electronics of Guy Sigsworth, who has worked with Bjork, and singer/songwriter Imogen Heap. It is electronic music with soul and feeling, and I’m feeling as though I’m probably one of the last to realise this, as it was released in 2002, but I discovered it from chasing down a copy of the Garden State DVD – not only because I liked the film – but because the track “Let Go” was used for the ending and I had to find out what it was.

Still, it’s that good I had to tell.
