LP / TuT-Tonträger / 2011 (Treue um Treue)
Long overdue debut album
of the Franco-Belgian electronic trio. While their music undeniably carries the
heritage of French Cold Wave - think DIE BUNKER and TRISOMIE 21 - their synth
ethics are more akin to those of David Harrow or N.O.’s Gillian Gilbert. With
their brothers in arms PIERRE NORMAL they share a taste for carefully arranged
lyrics and electronics, but if their take on French Chanson is equally
synth-driven, it is also far more sombre, flirting at times with Angst Pop and
even Bat Cave. Powerful anthems, ghostly waltzes and chilling sweet-sour ballads,
served by male and female vocals in French and English, haunt the grooves of
this eponymous first LP, which reveals the band as one of the spearheads of the
Cold Synth-Wave renaissance.
