Description
Saddleback is the solo project for producer Tony Dupe (Holly Throsby, The Woods Themselves, Via Tania). Tony first came to notice in Glovebox, who put an ethereal, ambient twist on the indie-pop scene as far back as the early ‘90s. and mdke a record with US independent music luminary Kramer (Low, Palace Brothers and Galaxie 500).
As Saddleback, Dupe has unanchored his atmospheric musings from Glovebox’s pop roots into new territory. Everything’s A Love Letter unfolds with small sonic gestures and gradually shifting layers of quiet sound, its fluttering, winding arrangements building into something altogether mesmerising. Blending guitar, piano, strings and brass into its mild electronic realm brings up compelling dimensions between classic composition and abstraction - a tender melodicism that draws on jazz, folk, pop and ambient electronica.
Everything’s A Love Letter is a most elegant debut and indeed a unique one.
