Dirge, Fountain EP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN005, 2004]

moulin005There’s a decidedly analogue feeling to the start of Dirge’s Fountain EP the fifth offering on Adim – Moulin005. In the “Hidden Track” the feeling is enhanced by the live sounding drums, guitars and unprocessed vocal, however there’s a lonely sounding violin involved as well in this melancholic track. “Casio (Early Version)” is a minute long interlude. “Phone” uses guitar, sampled busy-tone and conversation to great effect and you simply can’t get lonelier than you are in “Phone”. “Lois” contains more vocals, beautiful guitars, lonely sounding violins and timid beats. “Sympathetic Bar” with guitars, vocals and strings ends the “Fountain EP” and somehow this is exactly how you would imagine that the analogue/vocal sound of Adim (Autres Directions In Music) would be.
