Review :: Mourning Coup – Light House

Mourning Coup - Light House Mourning Coup
Light House
(Self Released)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


Mourning Coup’s yet to be released Light House is a private mystery; intrigue leading unto intimacy. From it’s intricate, precious packaging (that’s fabric and three types of paper you see there) to the tethered mix of single-mic’d vocals, samples, drums, and keyboards, there is a prevailing sense of blurred closeness. Deservedly so, as I had to beg Chandra Melting Tallow, the creative force behind Mourning Coup, to send me a copy (1 of 5) having convinced her that ideas trump all and therefore her rough recordings will suffice. Mourning Coup will certainly join the ranks of master Canadian etherealites like Katie Stelmanis with her flowing, ghostly echoes; calls from a reality she’s transcended and tucked between our collective consciousness. Chandra returns from India in 2010 and we will all wait patiently.

    CHANDRA is my older sister, I love her very very much and Wish her the best in india! We come from a very artistic family, and we will probably be collaberating musically very soon! Before she goes back to Quebec that is.
    IM SO PROUD!!!

    Let the record state that I am Chandra Melting Tallow’s biggest fan of all time and I will follow her to the ends of the earth and back, and will feed her organic grapes from the vine and pour the sweetest naturally filtered mountain spring water down her beautiful throat. Just let me carry your amp, ok?

    i had the amazing pleasure of collaborating with chandra on the project teen sleuth & the freed cybor choir in June in the Montreal Fringe Fest– she is a true prolific talent with a beautiful, haunting voice and i look forward to hearing everything she does in the future– an awesomely accurate review!!!

    I have just been introduced to Chandra’s music; it is certainly a pleasurable anomaly for the ears! Can’t wait to hear more!

    … a good secret that needs sharing. Lucky enough to have laid my head on the piano while she sang and played and those chords. IT resonated with the memory that railing against the wind you can’t fail because at least you are adrift. Listen to it!
