The glacially sad, dark grand musings of "May Tree" by Condore, the Liège, Belgium side project of Leticia Collet's (Dan San's keyboardist) floods your senses quickly. The forlorn grand piano intro amid bitter cold wind through trees feels so tenuously bare that when Leticia's ethereal vox take over with running piano lines, pounding drums, wall of big sounds in this artful fog you feel life closing in. Then as the song feels more bare once again but still shrouded in mystery there are rushes of children laughing and gusts of wind filling your ears. The tension, the ghostly apparitions that you may conjure up in your head feel like a Gothic novel are darkly cinematic. I thought of different illusionary artists like Tim Burton, like Danny Elfman, like Nathan Johnson, like Bjork, like Agnes Obel though there is no need to make comparisons when you have Condore.
