Official WebSite - > www.kentinjivek.com You’ve got 10 releases in total, not everything is here. http://heathenharvest.org/2011/10/01/kentin-jivek-ode-to-marmle/ Kentin Jivek is an artist from Paris France, and Ode to Marmæle is his 2010 follow-up to 2009′s wonderfully received Eight New Prophecies, where he managed to really begin to make a name for himself. His breakthrough didn’t come until the release of Ode to Marmæle though, receiving very positive attention from magazines like Judas Kiss and Ikonen, as well as one Mr. David Tibet himself. With Ode, he returns to his trademark tri-lingual style in French, English, and Spanish, going one more step this time by adding German to his repertoire, but only as a title for an intrumental track. Along with his lingual abilities, he also showcases an array of vocal styles ranging from the melancholic styles of Current 93 to the straight up southern rock style of Days of the New (in the opening track and moments of “From Here”). He is also back as a solo artist, showcasing his own skills in multi-instrumentality through guitar, piano, organ, percussion (including vibraphone/marimba), and experimental sounds. Needless to say, this guy has a serious amount of talent from just about every dark corner you could find as a solo songwriter. There is an absurd quality about the music on Ode. While few tracks come and go without anything new to say — though they are still thoughtfully composed — there are flashes of brilliance throughout
