The release of Thomas Meluch's (aka Benoît Pioulard) full length debut Précis was a quiet affair. It's been nearly a year since Kranky released that gorgeous, cogent collection of ambient pop, and it was met by nearly uniform (if limited) critical acclaim. painstakingly organised instrumental chaos. Meluch is a master of tact and dramatic restraint; despite the complexity of his arrangements, the build is always slow, always deliberate, and somehow always controlled. The standout tracks are some of the best 2006 had to offer, including "Palimend" and the stunning "Triggering Back." Go forth, and discover this artist. You will not be sorry, I assure you.
