Dull Lights

ERIC CHENAUX has been a creative force in Toronto underground music for fifteen years, From his launching point in punk-rock, Chenaux has delved deep into the language of the guitar, pursuing minimalism, improvisation, fractured folk and slack noise, among other mediations and immediacies On 'Dull Lights', Chenaux has forged a sublime 9-song album that folds his devotion to Scottish folk and pop balladry, his mastery of 'damaged' guitar dynamics, and his wistful, thoughtful voice into wonderfully fluid structures shaped by a trio of seasoned improvisers, From the warped guitar laden drag-waltz of 'Ronnie Mary' to the distorted bagpipe swath of 'Worm and Gear' to the white noise crooning of the title track - Eric Chenaux has composed a delicate, intricate, inspired cycle of pared-down tunes using a highly original palette of guitar-based sounds and strategies.
