Cabane is the French word for cabin, but it’s also the moniker used
by Belgian composer and songwriter Thomas Jean Henri, formerly of Soy Un
Caballo. As the album artwork suggests, his music doesn’t have a
thick-of-the-woods feel, but is more reminiscent of the light, transient
nature of the beach. On his first release “Sangokaku,” Henri is joined
by Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Kate Stables (of This Is The Kit) and Caroline
Gabard on vocals. The track swoops between swathes of vocal harmonies,
simple acoustic finger-picking, and string arrangements by Stereolab’s
Sean O’Hagan. For the video, Henri and director Jerome Guiot recorded
the reactions of his loved ones listening to the song for the first
time. Their faces describe the song in a much more poignant way than I
ever could.
