CD SINGLE REVIEW - 'FIND THE WAY' BY GUILLAUME
FROM POP NEWS JULY '06 (TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH)

On his first album, Steve Adey begins with precisely Will Oldham, and not any piece (“I See has Darkness”, already légendifié by Johnny Cash), it is thus guy which is what it has, undoubtedly these is a magic voice which evokes that of Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile.
On the intro cappela of “Find the Way”, one would be almost taken from this place, which is altogether very good. Serious, sometimes austere - piano and voices are distributed throughout most of the time with a snail like tempo, helped by some notes of guitars and some flat tints of violin and cello -, the music of the English is not there to laugh at but settles durably without wearying. The time which these four pieces (of which a second reading of Find the Way” in included, ) last. The video illustrating “Find has Way” plays nicely on nostalgic fibre.
On the memories which slip by into Super 8. Splendid and miserable at the same time.
