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. |

| 4 Bonjour S Parties is Japanese indie pop at its finest. This debut album is a collection of seven of Tokyo's best musicians crafted together out of the pure joy of making music. With a combination of male and female vocals, sung in both English and Japanese they create a dreamscape setting. One that will uplift you into another world of Neu-inspired repetition using modern electronics, wind instruments, keyboards, and 60's inspired guitar jangle pop. They create such a dreamy and aural pleasure that you'll find yourself relaxed and constantly daydreaming. Fans of Air, Cornelius, Fourtet, and Broadcast should take note. 4/5 stars. - Crashin' In |
