Autre Ne Veut is becoming less and less of a surprise. No backhand compliment either. Make no mistake it’s not that fans are less thrilled about his songs, it’s more like we’re finally acclimating ourselves to his brand of raw and distinct artistry. There resides in the anatomy of an Autre Ne Veut track a kind of nuanced delicacy and a forced unforced vulnerability. And then there is Arthur Ashin’s denuded and passion cured vocals. Vocals which sound like they’ve spent time orbiting too close to the sun then dipped into lavender honey. The result, a rustic haunting loneliness which indicates that his songs need us as much as we need them. And though lyrically adept the songs are more or less elevated by soulful delivery. The track Panic Room is a perfect example. When Autre Ne Veut lavishes listeners with his emotive and heartfelt falsetto we are totally dialed in.

All in all Age of Transparency is the superlative follow up to the career defining Anxiety, and a solid sophomore effort which reaffirms the proclamation that Autre Ne Veut is doing his own thing and is definitely here is stay. Peace.
