personificar a un “nuevo ambient” como progreso del folk es lo que dota a todo de una genialidad importante.
Reviews of Quite A Way Away [12k1070]
Back to ReleaseDickson’s new album is built upon a steady underlying flutter of caressed strings and a softly muttered vocal style that requires an attentive ear to resolve into speech.
An album of solitary beauty and a patient exercise of gentle escapism.
Dickson’s Nick Drake-esque tones swim leisurely in a sea of reverberant finger-picked acoustic guitars.
12K made a daring move and I wonder what comes next.
More beautiful music to disappear into.
Here we are: the 12k label’s transformation from minimal techno to songwriting is complete.
the simplicity is just the most beautiful thing.
An undercurrent of anxiety pervades some of the material.
It almost seems some of his ballads get closer to 17th century styles such as passacaglia or chaconne.
Hushed and frail, dextrous and wafted in with a hint of otherness
…que da a los temas ese aire entre fantasmal y liviano, de una fragilidad absoluta, que es uno de los ases que esconde Dickson en la manga.
Le folk ainsi proposé se fait fort d’opérer dans une certaine délicatesse
které je navíc opravdu radost poslouchat.
un piccolo capolavoro
Da assaporare con calma, in penombra.
Eigene Atmosphäre entwickelt.
Détaché du terrestre, ancré dans le rêve, il promène simplement huit ballades minimalistes et délicates.
Quelques cordes de finesse dans un monde de brutes.
Dickson ajoute un bluffant complément d’âme
Small patches of poetry, (mis) adventures narrated at your fingertips…
The Scottish guitarist and singer is an artist of real originality
