Comment: depending on my mood I would call the
French duo Natural Snow Buildings the best recent group worldwide in several
times. No joke. Indeed, Mehdi Ameziane and Solange Gularte have been
solidifying their inner and outer space experience on approximately 20 issues
since the beginning of the 00s. Their music is actually much bigger than a sum
of its components, however, creating the fabulous vamp over the listener`s ears
on The Night Country. Although there
are up 80 minutes to go it does not sound worn and boring at all throughout the
course. In fact, the issue is craftily balanced due to representing spaced-out
glimpses juxtaposed next to woolgathering and idyllic explorations (for
instance, Eli`s Song, Season of the Slasher). Furthermore, it
is quite pointless to categorize the moments of pure beauty and transcendental bridging
from one galaxy to another. If you are feeling yourself a little bit lonely and
depressed in the apartment in a town then this 11-track gives wings to you to
fly outwards and farther until the spot of you is going to fade away. By denoting
the duo`s sound by tags above I shall have to admit it is quite ill-suited to
call this sound “weird folk” because such sort of soundscape seems to be
thoroughly immanent, natural and full-fledged. However, by doing it nevertheless
I assume you do know why I did it and what I meant. Given that a drawn-out talk
is a shitty case and to end it I just say grab this divine issue and let`s immerse
in a fragment of music of the spheres.
