Lignin Poise, by Benoît Pioulard

Lignin Poise

by Benoît Pioulard

supported by

Josh Augustin I'm endlessly stunned by Benoit Pioulard's musical output, and this album continues that trend. In its gorgeously textured drones, Lignin Poise achieves a perfect balance between the expansive and the nuanced, lending itself to an exceedingly visceral and transporting listening experience. This is everything ambient music can and should be - definitely one of my favorite albums of the year, highly recommended.

Alec L. Critten This record has magic powers. Seriously. As soon as I got it I threw it on the turntable, but accidentally played it at 45 instead of 33. The feeling that came over me was nothing short of amazing - I was in a heavenly trance state. Listening to the record at the normal speed and the feeling's still there. Early contender for ambient album of the year in my book.
And the artwork is beautiful, too. Favorite track: Rook.

Liz's more clean approach since Ruins proves she's more than capable of writing beautiful (and decipherable) lyrics and songs not as reliant on layers of tape noise. Wesley
