TINARIWEN - Amatssou LP (colour vinyl) bossanova there's Cheveu

there's Cheveu

as it took me a couple of listens to understand its multi-layered carnival of souls

lumbering waltzes that appear at unexpected intervals

Produced by Blood Duster's Jason Fuller at his Goatsound studio

the country frolic of the Holy Modal Rounders

TINARIWEN - Amatssou LP (colour vinyl) bossanova there's CheveuLimited edition white vinyl. Black wax also available. Includes 20 pg booklet, housed in gatefold sleeve. There are glimpses of blues and folk throughout with Daniel Lanois and Fats Kaplin's appearances, that makes sense. Otherwise, its colourful, swirling guitars and percussive grooves create a sense of hypnotic warmth.
