LP / Blood Rock Records / 2013
lim. edition
Der Noir are a 3 piece from Rome and “Numeri E Figure” is their second album and follows their debut “A Dead Summer” released in 2012. The album opens with Carry On which has all the potential for a future single release, driving bass,
pumping electronic drums collide with sparking keyboards and infectious
guitar riffs add to the catchy lyrics which should see this song set any
dark dancefloor alight! The title track Numeri E Figure has a great Mick Karn sounding bass, even the intro has echoes of 80′s/Japan before blossoming into an exquisite wave masterpiece. Great ! Zero keeps a finger hold on 80′s wave whilst reaching out for new and
innovative programming and mixing which will appeal to fans of deathwave/ghostwave/coldwave/darkwave. L’Inganno mixes German and Italian lyrics in a more down tempo song with great
use of a trumpet, adding to the rich atmospheric soundscape. Sunrise will appeal strongly to fans of The Devil & The Universe.
Great drum programming which will connect with your inner ritual
primitive which is then covered in waves of addictive minimal
electronics, before a perfect blade of coldwave guitar cuts across the
song to an excellent shredded finale! A Classic instrumental which would
hold it’s own with anything from 80′s wave/new wave!
