Live Review: Yann Tiersen
"Tiersen urgently saws his violin to such dizzying, deafening climaxes that plumes of smoke literally billow above him..."
Album Review: Yann Tiersen - ∞
"Ambient yet somehow unnerving melodies that have been absent in much of his previous work"
Album Review: Yann Tiersen - Skyline
A milestone not only for Tiersen’s career, but for music as a whole.
Album Review: Yann Tiersen - Skyline
On paper it sounds like an interesting idea, but in execution it’s more annoying than effective, and this track may have many listeners reaching for the skip button, which would be unfortunate, since the second half of that song is rather beautiful.
Album Review: Yann Tiersen
Overall, the album’s vocal and instrumental prowess, as well as its courageous ability to push generic boundaries, makes it a hugely successful work.
