YANN TIERSEN Dust Lane (2010 UK 8-track CD album - Produced by Yann himself and mixed by Ken Thomas [Sigur Rós, M83, Moby], 'Dust Lane' sees Tiersen incorporate vintage electronic sounds and textures into his music for an album he describes as 'a journey on the dusty lane that leads us to death. Not a sad thing, but like a colourful, sometimes painful, but mostly joyful experience: life!'. 'Dust Lane' is, inescapably, an album preoccupied with mortality. During its recording, Tiersen lost his mother and a close friend, and the music within embodies what it is to be bereaved. It is also an album about life not as something lost, but something to be lived. 'Not a sad thing, but a colourful thing - an experience sometimes painful, but also joyful,' says Tiersen.
