Csaba Palotai - The Deserter (CD)

Special mixture of proto-jazz, ambient, noise, pop, rockabilly, blues and fragments of forgotten romances & folk-tunes The Deserter, Csaba Palotai's new BMC release, is a solo work with 11 short, fascinating compositions. Because of the title we would be inclined to look for abandonment and desolation and at first listening, on the surface, the music seems to meet our expectations. Nonetheless, the stripped-down, lean and haunting sounds of the guitar and the dreamlike musical fragments of most different genres call forth an absolutely original and compact style. This 'garage jazz' is a special mixture of proto-jazz, ambient, noise, pop, rockabilly, blues or fragments of half-forgotten romances and folk-tunes - this all mellowed to some very personal, emotionally rich and unique musical texture, through the deeply honest and sincere way of expression.Track Listing Bienvenido Stranger Blue Beard The Debt 1: Burning House The Debt 2: Military Recruitment The Debt 3: Shepherd Say Hell
