Plants Hawai

Not since 1967, when Beachcomber's Handbook by Euell Gibbons was published, has there been a wild food book for Hawai'i.

First full-length solo album by Beno?t Pioulard for Morr Music, after 2 albums by his band-project Orcas (with Rafael Anton Irisarri). Kranky veteran Beno?t Pioulard (n? Thomas Meluch) has created his first full-length for Morr Music, complemented by a linen book of Polaroid SX70 photographs from more than two years of environmental explorations. The music on Sylva and its 84-page visual companion bear the beauty and strange shapes of nature: desert rock formations and colorful leaves, restless waters and peculiar plants. Meluch's dreamy ambient drones and saturated lo-fi pop embody the impressionist sensation of his visual aesthetic - with this collection sound and vision are merged into an affectionate study of the organic. Sylva is the result of one of the most productive periods in Meluch's life.
