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 are from Tokyo and remind me of BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE during their more mellow moments. The first two tracks have mildly triumphant use of horns, and it's not too hard to imagine them being played by either James Shaw or Evan Cranley. Each song builds into a nice little climax. - CJAM |
