wunderschönste klavier-platte, die wir je hatten. das klavier klingt beizeiten extrem gedämpft, und mag von rj valeo, der hier produzierte, auch digital nachbearbeitet sein. die musik ist zwischen schwebend flirrend und hoffnungsvoll melodisch. melodien, so einfach und ernsthaft zu herzen gehend, dass man sich fragt, warum es die so noch nie gab.
as goldmund, kenniff has disregarded the electronic elements of his music almost entirely in favour of just a piano, a microphone and occasionally a guitar. ‘corduroy road’ is thirteen tracks of pure recording, the sound of the piano being opened and the feet on the pedals, the sound of fingers pressing lovingly onto the keys. this is a record of rare and unusual beauty, so shocking and yet unpretentious in its simplicity. when the guitar does emerge from beside the delicately touched piano, it serves as a balancing point for the record. weaving in and out of the melodies, it adds another layer to what is already incredibly moving music.
