Why do we like this?
There is something almost religious about the utterly enthralling experience of listening to Mas Ysa, the moniker of nomadic composer Thomas Arsenault.
"Years," with its quivering vocals, perfectly placed minimalist keys, and faintly eerie strings, is prayer-like in its slow-burning melancholy; it's a polar opposite to the Montreal-born artist's debut offering, "Why."
Beginning quietly enough, the latter is a track that blends "unabashed ecstatic pop" and techno tones into "danceable, melancholy folk music that pummels the heart rather than dances around it" -- a promising teaser from the New York based performer who's played with the likes of Deerhunter and Purity Ring.
