The Scene From A Frame, by Yousei Suzuki

The Scene From A Frame

by Yousei Suzuki

supported by

Ned Raggett Not a bad collection -- nothing immediately groundbreaking but as exercises in often contemplative acoustic guitar, zither and piano performances it's another fine reminder of the virtues of understatement. Often fragmentary and spontaneous, sometimes feeling carefully worked out. Sometimes that's all you need! Favorite track: The Deep Shadow of Summer.

about

Yousei Suzuki is a multi instrumentalist from Japan. This is his 4th release to date. The Scene From A Frame is his first cassette release with hand screen-printed bradpaks in edition of 100.

Scissor Tail Records first made a name for itself last year with Bruce Langhorne's "The Hired Hand" which was originally a soundtrack for Peter Fonda's directorial debut of the same name. It established a precedent for unique and intimate recordings and that's exactly what "The Scene From a Frame," the new cassette by Japanese musician Yousei Suzuki, exists as. Suzuki presents 12 acoustic pieces, each live and captured in a single take. Naturally, flawed notes and missteps in timing take place, and in fact there's more of those on "The Scene From a Frame" than you would expect because Suzuki's approach freely incorporates broken zithers and wrongly strung guitars. Suzuki aptly illustrates that's all part of the charm and seduction of live, spontaneous music. – Ryan Potts, Experimedia

Dedicated to Karen Dalton as the liner notes show but taking a strikingly different turn musically -- spacious, frayed, instrumental, suggestive of lost backroads and quiet moments of contemplation where the energy elsewhere almost seeps through the air. Ned Raggett

Fine exercise in acoustic guitar styles/production here, six tracks taking various tacks from classic fingerpicking to American Primitive to collaborations and less-crisp production. A good late night listen. Ned Raggett

Circular melodies adorned with subtle samples and loops. Its charm makes a lot of sense given that Allender plays in film composer Yann Tiersen’s live band. Lars Gotrich
