Marc Houle: Drift

More reviews by
Artist: Marc Houle
Title: Drift
Format: CD
Label: Minus
Rated: * * * * *
Marc Houle grew up in Windsor, Canada, with a Commodore 64 in front of him, new wave music in his ears and Detroit on the other side of Lake Erie. Now, living from Berlin to New York and playing under his own name as well as with the monikers 2VM and Run Stop Restore, he's about to deliver at end of September probably his most personal album. An album titled DRIFT. Born with the aim to give sound to Berlin's winter, the album finds Marc mixing minimal synth techno sounds with an experimental form of New Wave where he gathers layers of delayed clean guitars turning the atmospheres of a snowy sightseeing into sounds using the dance language. Analog synth sounds, drum beats and looping melodies are his tools and I don't know if this is the sound of winter or not, but for sure is a nice way of warming the body and the soul of the listener.
