Future classic

28th March 2016

Great review on Whisperin and Hollerin.

[...] It is a hugely impressive collection of songs that work very effectively together but equally as well in isolation. Eighteen songs and only one over three minutes may also help you to frame it. 'Paper Dance 2' is the best opening track to an album I have heard in a long time, it is a beautifully crafted introduction to this 'suite' of songs. Thankfully this artist (Julien Lonchamp) has the talent to back up his intro with the classic weekend pop of 'Talking Loud' and so it goes on. [...]

A breezy charm

18th March 2016

Less ‘normal’ and slightly more my cup of tea is Melody Cycle by Jack And The’, the musical project of Edinburgh-based French multi-instrumentalist Julien Lonchamp.

Plenty to savour

12th March 2016

4 stars review in Record Collector Mag : Yes, Melody Cycle (**** Folkwit), the second album from Julien Lonchamp and his seven-piece Apostrophe Ensemble as JACK AND THE’, may draw inspiration from Van Dyke Parks’ Song Cycle, and indeed the baroque and orch-pop material he produced that lends the album the overall vibe of late 60s Hollywood recording reissues on Now Sounds, but this is decidedly contemporary in scope and ambition. Fans of Elefant label acts like Giorgio Tuma and Folkwits’ own Odessey And Oracle will find plenty to savour here.

Pocket pop

9th March 2016

Thank you Gonzaï for this lovely review of Melody Cycle !

[...] Bref le genre de disque qui se déguste à merveille avec des petits fours Picard tout en essayant de draguer la fille de son patron sur un tapis en peau d’ours au coin du feu, dans les embruns du matin ou seul sous la pluie. Melody Cycle la chanson éponyme en est l’apothéose, le crie d’abandon, la condition sine qua non. A savourer jusqu’à l’indigestion. [...]
