Kreng (a.k.a. Pepijn Caudron), whose debut album, L’Autopsie Phenomenale De Dieu, made #35 on our Favorite Albums of 2009 list, has returned with a follow-up entitled Grimoire. Extending the film noir, shuffling jazz, and surreal Badalementi-esque orchestration, Grimoire is already shaping up to be one of my favorite albums of the year so far. And I gotta be honest: I’m not even halfway through the album yet. Might as well crown “Wrak” song of the year, while I’m at it.
Grimoire is out now on Miamsah. Don’t think. Buy.
