Bedroom Community broadens the scope with their newest release: En Garde by Puzzle Muteson, a mysterious, intimate record by a fearless songwriter and lyricist from the windswept Isle of Wight. Arranged and produced by collaborators and labelmates Nico Muhly and Valgeir Sigurdsson, En Garde is a strange, comforting and alarmingly personal record. Driven, spare lyrics are hoisted high by vocals of steady, sturdy tremble. Each tune swells with plush guitar pluck in a sea of orchestration and electronics. Recorded in the Greenhouse Studios in Iceland, the album collects Puzzle Muteson s odd and beautiful stories - about love and horses, rust and polar bears, heartbreak and birds. Puzzle s songs are curious sounds from a troubled heart and his lyrics are urgent and open, striking a note with their vulnerable memories. I Was Once A Horse is an unforgettable song about nostalgia. The first single and title track, En Garde , pits Puzzle s longing against waves of dense strings and jagged rhythm, while Perspex Disguise sets his naked, translucent vocals against shimmering piano that refracts off epic chords. In Flamingo Head he sings, I left your house. You let me. I left you ugly , buffeted by guitar and distant murmurs. Not a single thing could take this magical sight. I ll find you still , he sings in Medusa , the story of a man tracking down a lost love. Like many Bedroom Community recordings, En Garde takes an unexpected and unique voice and elevates it out of any easily discernible pocket. Puzzle Muteson could be folk or something completely different - instead he s an intense stranger from the Isle of Wight - at once both familiar and unfamiliar. En Garde heralds a haunting and essential new voice, beautiful, earned and yearning
