BALROYNIGRESS - SHAMPOO & CHAMPAGNE (CD)
"Basically a one man project by the visual artist, as well as songwriter and musical artist, Erik Jeor, Shampoo & Champagne is the Kning Disk debut and the very first installation of Balroynigress. Here a Swedish-French trio, the group consists, apart from the Swedish third part Jeor (song, guitar, bass and synthesizer), of Bill van Cutten (song, drums, melodica and synthesizer) and Elvire Soyes (song). Harmony and experiment partakes in a balanced unity; simple and fragile melodies of an almost sing-along type shifts to broken up, yet tranquil, excursions. Acoustic guitar, organ, bass and simple synthesizer arrangements creates room and light background tapestry for the poetic lyrics, often performed for two voices by Jeor and van Cutten. The cd-release is handmade and a limited edition of 900 copies. Apart from the lyrics, the foldout cover is adorned by a watercolour print of Erik Jeor." (label info)
