Midlife

Following Night Moves (BEC 5156022/5156023, 2015) and Kid We Own The Summer (BEC 5156710/5156744, 2017) and it's harmonious keyboards, H-Burns goes back to the quintessence of his music style: an impeccable songwriting praised internationally and an interpretation undeniably precise. To narrate in one album the only two stories worth being narrated - the one about a man living his home, and the one about a man coming back to his home - H-Burns (aka Renaud Brustlein) first matured his project isolated in a home-studio owned by French underground collective La Souterraine before bringing it to the studio with a team of musicians and engineers that he meticulously picked as usual: Earl Harvin from Tindersticks on the drums, Kate Stables from This Is The Kit as a vocal guest, Noah Georgeson (The Strokes, Andy Shauf, etc.) for the mixing, etc. Understandably titled Midlife, this new album, recorded on analog tapes, tells the story of a man who looks back over the journey of his life, remembering his dreams of glory, the lost love stories, what he left behind from the others and from himself. "Sister" features Kate Stables. CD version comes in two-panel digisleeve; includes 12-page booklet.
