Eric Chenaux has been a creative force in Toronto underground music for fifteen years.   He played guitar and sang in Phleg Camp and Life Like Weeds through the early 1990s, released his first solo record in 1996, and has recorded and performed tirelessly in Toronto for the last decade, both solo and with the likes of Michelle Mcadorey, Martin Arnold and Sandro Perri.   He co-founded the Rat Drifting label with Arnold in 2000 and has played on several of the label's releases, with groups like The Reveries, The Draperies, and Drumheller. From his launching point in punk-rock, Chenaux has delved deep into the language of the guitar, pursuing minimalism, pure improv, fractured folk and noise, among other mediations and immediacies.   He also sings and writes beautifully, and it has long been a dream of ours to hear a batch of new vocal tunes.   Last year, we invited Eric to record some songs at the Hotel2Tango in Montreal.   Supported by longtime collaborators Martin Arnold and Nick Fraser, Chenaux forged a sublime 9-song album that folds his devotion to Scottish folk, his mastery of 'damaged' guitar dynamics, and his wistful, thoughtful voice into wonderfully fluid structures shaped by a trio of seasoned improv players. Dull Lights is an album of long winding melodies and subtle shifts and turns.   Fraser's drums play around the beat, or paint beneath it, while Arnold and Chenaux pluck buzzing lines from guitar and banjo.   Imagine an intersection of Richard Youngs and Red Red Meat, or a lumberjack Devendra Banhart whose reference point is more The Grifters than glam.   Eric Chenaux has composed a delicate, intricate, inspired cycle of pared-down tunes using a highly original palette of guitar-based sounds and strategies.   We're thrilled to present Eric's unique voice (and voicings) with this release.
