referencing Life Is Full Of Possibilities, CD, Album, PR32CD

Dntel, with his album Life Is Full of Possibilities, fully exploits the pastoral/electronica wave that’s been rejuvenating IDM –- a nice contrast to the drill ‘n’ bass that many people associate with IDM. Instead, he offers the delicate vocals of “Anywhere Anyone” or the quiet trilling of “Pillowcase.” The beats, for the most part, and subdued and clicky, the melodies designed to sneak up on you. “Suddenly is Sooner Than You Think” has what sounds like a reprocessed and skipping accordion running through it, trailed by the whispery vocals of Meredith Figurine. “Why I’m So Unhappy” has the vocal contribution of Rachel Haden, whose rock ‘n’ roll timbre offers a different texture. There’s also the indie rock/IDM hybrid of “(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan” and the amassing of guitar, strings and glitch on the operatic “Last Songs.” Not only is life full of possibilities, but music is too.
