Hélène Barbier delivers a captivating blend of laconic and playful art-punk on her latest release Panorama, showcasing her distinctive approach as both bassist and bandleader. Her squiggly basslines anchor off-kilter rhythms while cryptic lyrics explore themes of ruptured relationships and existential malaise, all delivered with an addictive cool that never wavers.
Despite its concise 27-minute runtime, Panorama is packed with sly sonic textures that make it truly unexpected and unique. The album features inventive guitar tones reminiscent of Tom Verlaine meets John McGeoch, complemented by lush violin arrangements and Mellotron, with standout moments like the intense violin work on "Kindness in a Cup" that showcase Barbier's rich production sensibilities.
