MH-256 4 Bonjour's Parties - Pigments Drift Down To The Brook  4 Bonjour's Parties is a seven member strong ensemble from Tokyo, Japan. Their debut full-length release, Pigments Drift Down To The Brook, with it's expansive, chamber-music approach to song structure and production, hints at modern risk-takers Architecture In Helsinki and The Arcade Fire. Alternating between sweet and majestic, the combination of male and female vocals, sung both in Japanese accented English, is an aural wonder. Keyboards and wind instruments lay on top of a bed of dream-rock guitar, bass, and drums, creating moments of 60’s guitar pop, Neu inspired repetition, and modern electronics, all within the same expansive track. Pigments Drift Down To The Brook marks 4 Bonjour's Parties as a band that deserves close attention. |

| The debut album from Tokyo seven-piece 4 Bonjour's Parties takes listeners on a journey through a world of expansive, dreamy pop. With a sound somewhere between Stereolab and Sufjan Stevens, 4 Bonjour's Parties makes good use of everything from horns and synths to flute and accordion, as well as male and female vocals, to create tracks that start off mellow, groove toward the middle, then build to epic, sparkling cacophonies. When at their best, like on “Satellite” and “Amalthea,” 4 Bonjour's Parties' music has a big sound with a sense of wonder to it. - Remix |
