every now and again a record comes along of such perfect simplicity that you wonder why anyone bothers extending their recording facilities beyond a four-track. just as it is on julian poidevin's second long playing lp, on the ever-exquisite dorset paeans label. spartan guitar arrangements make a flawless foundation for poidevin's silvery-sigh of a vocal; the only lily gilding found here is the benign waltze of an accordian and a smattering of glockenspiel. it is near impossible to choose stand-out tracks - the album plays almost as a solitary refrain - although the gentle apathy of 'dead drunk' invokes something particularly alluring. without finding a pigeon-hole for this unique record, the rural tradition will appeal to fans of nick drake, smog and obscure 60s and 70s soundtracks.
