Dull Lights CD

Having signed to Constellation, Eric Chenaux has unveiled Dull Lights, a record that reveals a new depth and maturity to his work. The album delves deep into the language of the guitar, pursuing minimalism, improv, fractured folk and noise; it is a record of long, winding melodies and subtle shifts and turns, composed using a highly original palette of guitar-based sounds and strategies. Musique Machine wrote of the album that it “manages to balance between sounding heartbreakingly beautiful and haunting... Chenaux artfully mixes bluegrass and folksy drunken strums with bare bones rock tunes... an awkward and bittersweet masterpiece.” Fans of Dirty Three, Will Oldham or Devendra Banhart will not be disappointed.
