Dream of Heat dans Audion

«Review», Alan Freeman, Audion, no 87, 1 mai 2026
mardi 5 mai 2026 Presse

The Canadian duo of Ida Toninato (baritone saxophone, voice, synthesizers) and Jennifer Thiessen (viola, voice, synthesizers), plus an additional musician: Jason Sharp also credited on synthesizers, this is one of those albums where the resulting music is far more rich and creative than one would expect from the instrumentations. Of course, in having two female vocalist/multi-instrumentalists, really, anything is possible. There’s both a “post rock without the rock” feel present, and an avant pop edge to much of it, whilst it runs from moody neo classical, to ambient space jazz to many other realms, all bordering the avant-garde, yet never really steeping over the line.

On y retrouve à la fois une atmosphère de «post-rock sans le rock» et une touche d’avant-pop, tandis que l’album explore des univers allant du néoclassique mélancolique au jazz spatial ambiant, en passant par bien d’autres registres, tous à la limite de l’avant-garde, sans jamais vraiment franchir la ligne.
