Temper lives up to its name, balancing the cloudy beauty of Benoît Pioulard's music with more form and clarity and melding his folk, pop, and electronic leanings even more seamlessly. Where Précis seemed to drift from song to song depending on which way the wind blew, these songs move of their own volition: "Ragged Tint" opens Temper with shivery, rippling guitars that are much more urgent than any of Pioulard's earlier music

Thomas Meluch follows his excellent Benoît Pioulard debut Précis with another record woven of similar strands of instrument and machine, pop and art, beauty and noise. Since releasing his first LP, Précis, in 2006, Thomas Meluch (aka Benoît Pioulard) has hauled his acoustic guitar, effects pedals, and samplers from Michigan to indie rock's West Coast mecca, Portland (apparently Brooklyn is finally full). Relocation hasn't had a perceptible effect on Meluch's DIY .

The title of Benoit Pioulard's (real name Thomas Meluch) sophomore effort is similarly misleading. A title like Temper may imply a tense, edgy sounding record, but those familiar with Pioulard's previous recordings should know by now not to expect such from the Portland based t. Despite having released only four albums (two full length and two EPs) on a record label, Pioulard has been exploring and developing his sound since his 2001  . Ragged Tint" is fairly representative of Temper, not so much atmospherically, as the majority of the album is a peaceful affair, but rather in terms of structure and composition. Ahn" takes things a step further, completely eliminating the ambient sounds in favour of straight folk guitar.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). Benoît Pioulard creates another masterpiece with this follow up to the 2006 release Précis! I've been waiting for this new album for quite some time now and it does not disappoint. This new offering (arguably among the best music releases of 2008) shows much growth and maturity since Précis; the artist seems to really craft each track, taking his time and presenting the listener with an ethereal journey that recalls (for me anyways) lazy summer evenings and hazy remembrances
