Pre-order of Murmuration. You get 3 tracks now (streaming via the free Bandcamp app and also available as a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more), plus the complete album the moment it’s released.
Murmuration is an impressive watchtower of orchestral noise-rock crafted by raucus, almost mineral guitar slabs, heavily shaken by anxious drumbeats. The floor is trembling yet the fortress holds still. Tracked again live by Amaury Sauvé at the Apiary Studio in Laval, this new full- length sees the swiss quintet insisting on what they’re best at defending: solid instrumental rock that’s made to last.
[L. Jucker]
Murmuration est une impressionnante tour de noise-rock façonnée par de gros blocs de guitares rêches, presque minérales, lourdement secouées par une rythmique fiévreuse. Le sol tremble, pourtant la forteresse tient bon. Dans ce nouvel opus, à nouveau enregistré live par Amaury Sauvé au Apiary Studio à Laval, le quintet suisse insiste sur ce qu’il sait le mieux défendre: un rock instrumental solide conçu pour durer.

It plunges me into an abyss of sound that's both harrowingly dark and profound, a sonic deepness that swallows light and breathes out an engulfing, cathartic darkness. lecassette8
