That Tall Distance, David Myles

Unclassifiable? Not the right word. Touch all ? No more. His publicist Simon Fauteux speaks of him as a “supreme sound stylist” quite rightly. The David Myles way is indeed refinement at the service of everything. We knew him neo-rockabilly in 2017 with the amazing Real Love, we followed it in French folk with The great departure. This time we find the great stakes of Fredericton in the company of ace musicians, the time of a record of instrumental music. Extensive program: Birdsong is 1970s jazzy-soul, brass in the foreground, but not without a twangy guitar. Silver World is luxury funky, it feels like a TV theme where endless Oldsmobiles are going on all the time. Solid State is a looping groove that reminds a bit of… Pink Floyd by Breathe.Motion is a rocking blues, a la Chris Rea. Yes, it all fits together. Pedal steel, Wurlitzer organ and trumpet become a laughing stock, as if Herb Alpert and Isaac Hayes were meeting… In the Maritimes.
