Album Description

It's easy to dismiss a cultured American dabbling in groovy French music of the 1960's as un peu pretentieux, but April March (nee Elinor Blake) has worked assiduously at it for the last 10 years. And with the producer Bertand Burgalat she has built on a root concept with more and more high-flying sounds and songwriting; "Triggers" is her best album yet

Album Description

2003 release from April March (aka Elinore Blake). For fans of Broadcast, Air & Serge Gainsbourg. Produced by Bertrand Burgalat. Pias.

Customer Reviews:

Incroyable!.......2007-02-18

This is gorgeous. It's rare that I come across a record I have no reservations whatsoever recommending, but this is one of them. March's previous album Chromiance Decoder was bordering on greatness, but the pieces hadn't quite fallen into place. Triggers is a work of pure genius (with the underated Mr Burgalat again at the helm) and draws on French pop, rock, lounge, electro, even a little bubblegum, all melded together in an unexpected and attractive package. Triggers shows how inventive production, arrangements and talent can make absolute magic.

tres fantastique!!!.......2004-02-09

this is one of THE best albums i have ever heard. a must-have for any collection and particularly for any franco-phile. completely enchanting, atmospheric, fun, dreamy and totally addicting. to quote a friend of mine who heard it for the first time today: "listening to this album is like feeling the sun warm your face".

the girls in their knee socks.......2003-11-08

I simply can't get enough of this new record of April March's. Like her last one, it is undeniably catchy, but there is a distinctly late night mood about this one. I would say this is the dark night to Chrominance's sunny day. It's as if the protagonist of the last one fell on some bad acid and made this album during her hallucinations.

Especially effective here are the opening, middle, and closing 'suites' that tie it all together. The instrumentals bring us into the mood of the album, gently pulling us in until the first catchy would-be single, 'Coral Bracelet'. Yes at times it all sounds like a freaky Argento score...but that is a good thing. Ms. March's latest will be a welcome surprise.

Don't let the darker mood fool you. There is still a lot of humor and cheekiness to this outing; it just feels more of a piece: mature and assured.
