From the rusty sextant of Rolf Carlos:

Mythologies aren’t reserved for dusty volumes, or shallowing scriptures on windswept sandstone; new legends are being furtively created by your next door neighbour, in their noisey downtown apartments, long after you’ve gone to bed. Good Will Come To You, the second in a trilogy of exploratory folk-gospel by Montréal’s elusive Jean-Sébastien Audet offers just that. Laying naked at the crossroads of Art&B, spirituals, and Jobim, Un Blonde is reaching into the deep pockets of tradition, but pulling up his own currency. A cow-licked Phil Elverum, heartbroken, layering endless guitars as he builds The Glow Pt. 2; D’Angelo, possessed, determined to break the backbone of harmonic possibility as he croons 16-tracks deep on Voodoo; David Longstreth, strangling impossible chords from his Stratocaster with his middle finger aimed at Yale. This isn’t comparison, so much as orientation. Triangulate your compass, and let it lead you to a new mythology; just trust your judgement.
