Jumpel

Deuxième Bureau CD

Hidden Shoal
Deuxieme Bureau is a further refinement of the Jumpel sound so wonderfully displayed on debut album Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach. Like perfectly fabricated ecosystems, each track is a luscious miniature environment complete with its own micro climate and prismatic inhabitants. The attention to detail in the music is consistently astonishing, rewarding close listening with a good pair of headphones. Deuxieme Bureau is a fabric of intimate moments - some parts woven tightly, others open to the air - and an enticing invitation to explore Jumpel's delicate and immersible ambient micro-pop. Early standout 'Clay State' layers aching strings, brushed drums, Rhodes piano and vibrato guitar into a delicately affecting throb. Single 'Quicken Belts' amiably bounces Rhodes, marimba and rustling rhythms against the sounds of neon fireflies, tiny springs and electrical flickering, before they are submerged in a pond of metallic particles. And gorgeous closing track 'Friends' send plaintive piano chords resonating out into a field of mechanical flora and fauna.
