  • About Small Tease

    It seems to be about guilty pleasures.

    It also seems to be about a claim for simplicity within a well-assumed sonic approach, where melody and mellowness are shamelessly confronted.

    One must avoid feeling guilty for instantly liking it.

    The tracks unfold, the notes mumble. The staves are hanging a silent lyric in mid-air. The strings vibrate, balancing out a stripped-down form of harmonious sobriety and virtuosic flights. Thus, the pieces become pictures that can be transmuted from within, playfully messed around by absorbing themes presented in reverse shot. Peacefully, ears move in deeper, eyes wide open, discovering a frugal yet greedy world.

    This album is comforting like sugar. But, paradoxically, here, sugar appeases. Evanescent melodies disclose a tiny little bit of happiness, whispered with melancholic overtones, although still bearing a certain amount of childlike joy. You come out of it bewitched, with a stupid smile on your face, happy to have followed the tribulations of a contemplative with wandering hands. — Marie-Andrée Houde
