Arthur Ashin (aka Autre Ne Veut) has always been lumped in with the "bedroom R&B" of How to Dress Well and others. At his best, his singing feels directed to a shrine rather than the club. The title of Age of Transparency acts as Ashin's commentary on the way we live our lives out in the open, and his music seeks to pull you through uneasy, emotional dregs with its every turn.
