Finally repressed, As one of the two songwriting brothers for Herman D?ne, David-Ivar Herman D?ne has been over the course of the last few years incredibly prolific, releasing two records by Herman D?ne last year (Mash Concrete Metal Mushroom on Shrimper and Mas Cambios on the British label Track & Field), not to mention a bounty of self-released, limited edition CDRs in his native France. Ya Ya is David's first solo album proper (if you discount the fact that Herman Dune drummer Neman is in charge on the drums) and adheres to the aesthetics of David-Ivar's full time gig in Herman D?ne. Ya Ya is filled with offhanded rockers spread through nine new songs and a cover of an Otis Redding tune, all of them well written, stripped-down, and pensive without being pretentious-- as one would expect from the frontman of a band that has been hailed in its hometown (Paris, France) as one of the best neo-folk outfits around.
