LP / TuT-Tonträger / 2012 (Treue um Treue)
black vinyl - lim. edition of 255 hand-numbered copies
Debut album
by AME DE BOUE, the solo project of Dasz, one of the two
men-behind-the-machines in the Franco-Belgian outfit DOLINA. If the
family resemblance cannot be denied – especially in the nag for
sweeping, synth-driven cold-wave anthems – AME DE BOUE’s music is also
more personal and intimate, with a raw edge and an urgency which command
the listener’s emotional involvement on each track, from the
dance-floor orientated electro songs to the eerie Third Wave ballads and
the more introspective, angst-laden waltzes. A distant sense of threat
and a definite claustrophobic mood pervade the album, relieved here and
there by touches of black humour, echoes of 80s New Wave and
electro-punk surges. Welcome to the Saturday night’s ball on the
isolation ward!
