专辑介绍
The album The Weather's fine is the second release from the Estonian shoegaze band Picnic.
The musical direction would be somehow a mixture of classical shoegaze and dreampop (such a dreadful musical term, but I guess that’s what they normally call it). During first listening you spot the obvious musical influences such as Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, but … Art is theft! Nabokov based his infamous novel Lolita on Heinz von Lichberg’s Lolita from 1916 and even Tchaikovsky ripped off the French national anthem in 1792. It’s not a question about if you steal it, it’s how you treat the stolen goods – and Picnic treats it with respect.
The album starts with the painstakingly beautiful Stop The Fall, where lead singer Marja leads the audience slowly and gently into the dreamish scapes of Picnic. The whole album has a haunting atmosphere to it, an echo from the past but still manage to be relevant and modern. My personal favourite from the album is the enigmatic and epic Too Fast. The intriguing balance between the acoustic and the electronic creates an atmosphere of something unearthly.
The album is a journey from it’s very first seconds until the obscure ending of the final track Goodnight, where the band members put the listeners gently to sleep with high resonance and noisy field recordings.
Overall this album shows the true strength of the current Estonian indie rock scene. Hopefully foreign listeners will give notice to the great work that the artists of the Estonian Seksound label have to offer.
