ADRIFT (TEN YEARS BEFORE SCARDANELLI)

French project DEMIAN CLAV appears to be the creative vehicle of D. Claverul, presumably with Demian as his first name, and was assembled in 2006. The first full length album of this project appeared in 2009 as "Nightfall Prayers", which was followed by "Wisteria Lodge" in 2011. "Adrift: Ten Years Before Scardanelli" is the third album by Demian Clav, and was released in the summer of 2013.

If you tend to enjoy music of the atmospheric kind, sporting plenty of cinematic and some ambient streaks, and have a soft spot for dark moods of the kind that inspires to thoughts about mysticism and melancholy, Demian Clav's latest album is one you might want to inspect. Those who enjoy sophisticated yet accessible rock not that far removed from Pink Floyd's most accessible material are possibly a key audience. Just as long as you're not overly demanding about the quality of the lead vocals that is, as they are a bit hit and miss on this production.
