Comment: La
Houle is the duo of Simon Sockeel and Geoffrey Papin though by
listening to this 10-notch outing it would be honest to admit
Clementine Blue's remarkable role by adding her enchanting female
vocal to the mix. In overall, it is a gentle nugaze/shoegaze album
with groovy keyboards and celestial guitar noises and the
aforementioned female and male mixed vocals. All the lyrics are
represented in French thus making definitely some difference and
adding some welcome exotics. A strong thread on this release is to
build up from quiet elements into an eargasmic tumult and some tracks
result in overtly dance-appealed frequencies. In other words, its
absolute sum is definitely bigger than the sum of its initial parts
because one get hit by an invigorating synergy. At times it chimes in
a kind of symphonic way. In truth, it is a modern counterpart of
symphonic music. Truly beautiful in its bliss being released on Beko
DSL, another indie stalwart from France.
