Yann Encre is a great paradox. In France, no one can really put him into any category. Yann's music encompasses Gainsbourg and Jacques Brel's songwritings, Leonard Cohen or Bill Callahan's folk, Rachel's neo-classicism, Nico's bewitching melodies, Lee Hazlewood's gloomy arrangements and organic electronica's preciseness. Almost three years after its first album, he releases a truly ambitious and polished up new opus that blends delicate organic instrument fragments and tighly knit collages with an unequalled complex syntax. Yann is no longer making music as Encre, but is concentrating on his project Stranded Horse.
