Catalog Number: mtm43lp Format: LP UPC: 0876623007562 Le Ton Mite is a musical cooperative that revolves around the compositions of itinerant musician, instrument maker and artist McCloud Zicmuse, an American expatriate in permanent residence in Brussels. Having left the United States in the mid-noughties on a European sojourn that never ended, McCloud returned to the States, to revisit places he had not seen, in some cases, for 15 years. 'Passe Compose Futur Conditionnel' is the stunningly realised soundtrack to this voyage. A finely woven double album patchwork of 50 songs, in its 67 minutes it absorbs a lifetime's worth of landscapes, reflections, encounters, anecdotes and movements. In addition to a core group of Belgian master musicians, a number of songs feature the fruitful intervention of Deerhoof's John Dieterich as well as a keyboard cameo from Heather Trost (A Hawk and A Hacksaw), with the resolutely pop sound of the LTM group rendered dynamic by infusions of jazz, baroque, folk & R'n'B.
