FOLK / AMERICANA
Released: Apr 2003
Catalogue Number: SP.6

Featuring a special guest remix appearance by the label’s head honcho and sometime Quatermass artiste Vicent Fibla, this five track extended player arrested us almost immediately. Barely a week has passed since the impressive new talent Eedl arrived at our door, having first impressed with a killer spot at an off Sonar party 2002 with familiar sounds from the Benbecula and Expanding camps. Zooey is a new matter altogether, ‘The Beaver Island’ is a sunblessed place on this evidence, a sultry ambient wash, perfect for kicking back on beaches and soaking up the rays. After the sun comes the more wintry, reflective chill of ‘Nous marchons sous la neige’, possessing a graceful but purposeful melodic strategy, poised and luscious still. Fibla’s mix is a killer, a tumble of beats, and a delicious crunch, topped with Vicent’s penchant for delightful melody. ‘Endless summer on the beaver island’ is a fitting conclusion, strings and plucked guitar seal the relationship with the less glitchy end of Fennesz’s output, with a preserved grasp of harmony and hazy music for blissed out afternoons. Recommended.
