Album Notes
Personnel includes: Pascal Comelade, PJ Harvey.
A highlight of Catalonian composer Pascal Comelade's 1998 album L'ARGOT DU BRUIT, "Love Too Soon" pairs a splendid arrangement of piano, toy, and traditional instruments with PJ Harvey's dramatic delivery. The song, which was also featured in director Hal Hartley's THE BOOK OF LIFE, leads off SWING SLANG SONG, a limited-edition, French-only companion EP reissued to satisfy fan demand.
SWING SLANG SONG's seven bonus tracks are a worthwhile addition to the Comelade canon. In lieu of Comelade's repertoire of traditional dances and diversions, originals "Aigua de Florida" and "The Great Ricardo Solfa" reflect his grasp of European folk musics and showcase the tinny, twangy charm of toy-instrumentation. "Comiendo la Banana d'Ayer" is Comelade's amusing, tropical-tinged tribute to psychedelic troubadour (and "bananamour") Kevin Ayers. Plucked plastic guitar and plinking piano enhance the honky-tonk flavor of Wayne Carson's "Letter," while "Tromboning R'N'B' Formidable" reworks Ornette Coleman into a brief squawk-and-squeak hoedown. The toy-piano instrumental version of "Love Too Soon" reveals that Harvey elevated a slight piece into a riveting, three-hanky weeper. Harvey works her magic again on "Featherhead," tempering Comelade's avant-garde quirkiness with rock & roll raunch.

Editorial Reviews
...Brief instrumentals where Comelade overtracks xylophone, guitar and accordion to recreate the yearning street music familiar from French new Wave soundtracks...
