here's the sublime title track, En Garde from Isle of Wight-based chamber folk/pop lyricist Puzzle Muteson off his impressive debut album "En Garde" (2011).
En Garde is a wistful, nostalgia-tinged, delicate, finger-picked, acoustic lament, Muteson's quivering tenor voice is utterly captivating, possessing an endearingly vulnerable charm, he lays himself bare on this deeply intimate, sincere track, making us complicit in his soulful introspection. En Garde is a beginning, an opening up, a release, a revelation, it is an uplifting et unique song to treasure, it is also an incredibly well crafted et produced track, you're in very good hands, so just close your eyes, surrender your mind et enjoy!
Muteson's wonderfully intricate acoustic guitar playing, et songwriting filled with bittersweet, personal insight has definite shades of Nick Drake's timeless beauty.
MP3: En Garde
check out the wonderfully minimalist video for En Garde directed by Lauren Edward, reminiscent of Yvonne Rainer's stunning Hand Movie (1966).
i would highly recommend getting yourself a copy of the stunning "En Garde" album which is available from Icelandic record label Bedroom Community on cd+download or as a digital download, you can also purchase it from the Puzzle Muteson bandcamp, or on itunes.
the "En Garde" single is available as a 7" as well as a vinyl edition of the "En Garde" album from Norman Records.
Muteson is another artist who has made the initial decision to keep his 'true' identity anonymous, what he has given us however is some truly remarkable songs filled with heart et soul, this is more than enough.
