Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Imagine if Palace's Will Oldham--or perhaps compatriot Tom Waits--had grown up in the rarefied surrounds of Dalarna, Sweden where there's little to do except admire the trees and create oddly poignant lo-hi-fi-folk. Herman Dune are very disconcerting. Tracks such as "Drug-Dealer in the Park" and the bittersweet "Shakespeare and North Hoyne" take full advantage of the fact that English is brothers David Ivar and Andre (plus drummer Ome)'s second language to create vivid stream-of-consciousness images. Guitars rattle, drums occasionally pound. On the devotional "You're so Far From Me", David sings with a slight lisp over bottleneck guitars and cavernous space which fully reflect his upbringing. Elsewhere, Andre's "Ulrika's Body" threatens to break into fully-fledged pathos. Turn Off The Light is an extraordinary debut. --Jerry Thackray

5.0 out of 5 stars Acoustic, raw and stunning., 11 Feb 2001
By J. Nagl (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Oh my friends, this here's a gem, a real treat buried in the sales racks and unheard of unless you're a regular John Peel listener. Get this and spread the word, people need to know. Herman Dune are an excellent 3-piece from Paris (don't sound remotely French... actually, they don't sound like they're from any country.) bearing close comparison with Will Oldham (particularly his Palace Music work) and maybe a bit of Violent Femmes or Dirty Three. Maybe. Anyway, the sound of it is pretty unique, gloriously fractured vocals coupled with twanging guitars that go from gentle single-string melodies to suprisingly agressive blasts, especially the sinister 'I Do The Crabwalk' and the strike-inducing 'World of Workers' and 'A Hundred Times Better' repeating "life is an everyday fight/ in which I want to take a part". Still, theres some genuinely sweet moments too, 'Youre So Far From Me,' 'From That Night' and the simple beauty of 'Slight Miscalculation' serving up more emotion than a lifetime of Top 40s. On the surface another alt-country piece, this has fire under the surface, dark shadows and rage - if you can dig Will Oldham, Hefner, Smog or Cat Power, you'll really enjoy this.... This is a real word-of-mouth success in the making - get this CD and hear for yourself. And then tell everyone else. Strangely simple and absolutely gorgeous.
