NO POCUS WITHOUT HOCUS

"Pixelated Friends" is a first track which announces their color with a killer rhythm and a gentle break followed by "Stoned and Horny" a track plunging into Morrisonian swirls with a hypnotic, heavy and captivating bass à la Levin. "Sweet Dark Hypnosis" is less catchy which allows "She's Crying Diamonds" to show the full extent of the group's knowledge with its slowed down, melancholic tempo, then its intoxicating guitar playing? 5 minutes of pure joy! "Nothing Can Go Wrong" takes up a bit of the group's own foundations, with this heavy timbre and an aquatic ending of the most beautiful effect. On "A Wooden Groove", there are energetic riffs close to stoner, guitar solos and a titanic drum finale suggesting more prog tracks!

It is then two pieces, two pure jewels where the guitar of Dire Straits comes to the ears, the first of great beauty with fruity, soaring sounds associated with others more greasy, oily: the art and the way in which "Bad Wolf of the Pack" goes even further with sounds flirting with Dire Straits, The Doors, and Blue Oyster Cult, no less! "Wild Flower" the ballad to rest the ears after having regressed so much in a few minutes, crystalline piano notes, a cathedral atmosphere. "Mermaids" takes a more relaxed sound from the album with phrasing and bass guitar seeming to come straight out of a "Doors" album! Finally, the last title clearly indicating that we are dealing with a pure prog record, "Elena" takes us one last time to the shores of the 70's with a psychedelic, symphonic air where the organ sounds the flights of the church!
