New Music Releases // Cindytalk – The Crackle Of My Soul

Format: CD

Label: Editions Mego

Cindytalk have been active since 1982, which we won’t go into here (a quick Google search will satisfy that need). During the 80s and 90s their sound was defined by broken down rock structures and abstract piano ambience. A third side to their coin emerged at the dawn of the 21st Century with a turn towards obscure computer usage pushing all resemblance of melody and conventual texture to the outer edges.
‘The Crackle Of My Soul’ is the first full length to come from this new direction, starting in 2001 and now finally ready for release. Its also the first Cindytalk album since the 1995 release of ‘Wappinschaw’. Although very abstract in nature these 10 tracks still echo the vocal brilliance and subtle beauty that they become known for, as well as pushing back the boundaries making this an essential listen regardless if you are aware of the back catalogue or not,
This is the first in a series of already finished releases, which will see the light of day throughout 2010.

New full-length by a long-running project of Gordon Sharp – the band’s first LP since 1994 “Wappinschaw”. It came out Vienna-based Editions Mego label and is dedicated to Matt Kinnison, one of the former band members who died from cancer in 2008.
