Artists: USI ES and WOLF VAN WYMEERSCH
Track: ONE WAY TO THE SEA
USI ES is the musical moniker of Belgian singer-songwriter Ester Weemaes.
Her music balances between darkness and dreaminess. Her debut album
SideQuest lands next Friday.
Wolf Vanwymeersch is a seasoned musician who released the first LP,
A Mass In the Water by his new band Wholes last November.
Press info: “One Way the Sea” isn’t a sugary ballad, but rather the story of a couple
of fortune seekers who take their chances at sea. Musically, the duet navigates the same waters as the collaborative work of PJ Harvey and Mark Lanegan, but is powered by raw electronics.”
TUTV: Two things popped up in my head instantly. Firstly, David Lynch‘s 2001 enigmatic movie Mulholland Drive and secondly, Nick Cave and his 1996 album Murder Ballads, featuring his Where The Wild Roses Grow duet with Kylie Minogue.
Those that make sense? Does it have too? As I said, these were my first thoughts
after hearing this collaboration for the first time. So I guess it makes sense to me.
Usi Es and Wolf‘s duet is a slow-mo, hush-hush wandering, a subtly orchestrated dream
in motion, an alluring song of a utopian future, a tempting adventure. Their voices fit romantically well. Both intriguing and heartening, creating an illusory ambiance.
There’s always a sea at the end of the tunnel.
