Thinguma*jigSaw
are a self-proclaimed “splatter-folk” duo hailing from Norway who now reside in
Ireland. They call themselves Little Myth Ephiphanymph and the Severed
Headmaster, but are really named Martha Redivivus and Seth Horatio Bunrombe,
respectively. With their invented style, they combine elements of folk and
avante garde music with horror movie sensibilities. On their debut for the
Deserted Village label, they manage to hit all of the right notes and perfectly
sum up splatter-folk for the casual listener. By combining an amazing pop
sensibility with just the right amount of weirdness and unconventionality,
Thinguma*jigSaw makes listening to “Awakeinwhitechapel” an experience not soon
forgotten.
The key elements on the album are banjo, saw, and flute with ethereal vocals
to top them off. There is a barebones, lo-fi quality to the music, yet the group
creatively arranges itself to make the most of its various parts. Even songs
with only banjo and flute, for instance, sound surprisingly full-bodied,
powerful, and complex. Throughout the album, there is a deep sense of melancholy
that is both highlighted and enhanced by the amazing arrangements and careful
use of sound.

Mensen die Breuer al langere tijd volgen kennen
zijn, zullen hem vooral herinneren door zijn innemende optredens. Een lange (bebaarde)
jongen met een kleine Spaanse gitaar, zittend op een stoel, vaak met een 'potje'
bier ernaast. De liedjes over worstelen met liefde, onbestemde gevoelens en
ontevredenheid praat hij dan luchtig aan elkaar vol grapjes en zelfspot. (3voor12
