Comment: the
simplest way to assure the title "
Froid" does mean
the music represented over the course of a handful of tracks. Of
course, it does mean it does have much in common with the rest albums
of the Sankt Peterburg, Russian one-man-project. Indeed, the listener
should find out distinctive details and facets which used to differ
from the other albums by System Morgue and thereafter you will have
the base ultimately to shout out the substance being hidden behind
the title. In fact, it would be way too different approach and way
too pedantic and suffocating for enjoying music. The artist describes
it as winter album having been recorded during winter months. The
winter is the season for heroes. Between those meandering guitar
layers with more or less hirsute accents you can enjoy deep yearning
and broad dreams as if a way to conjure up something blissful and
ennobling with quite simple solutions. It is shoegaze but it is not a
My Bloody Valentine, it is darkwave but it is not a Lycia, it is
ethereal wave but it is not a Cocteau Twins. All of that represented
over there is System Morgue, one of the most perspective artists at
the moment worldwide. At times, it is a pure power demonstration, at
times it is a monument for pure feelings, at times those may be mixed
up with one another. However, the whole ego of mine is subjugated to
it. It is an avalanche in disparate meanings. The outing is a part of
the discography of an imprint called Frozen Light.
