Comment: noise as a genre is considered as the counterpoint to the music. Undoubtedly there has been a set of strategies. One of the purposes of the noiseniks is to undermine the role of pop music through conquering the area by taking it over. Given that there must be attributes belonging also to the (pop) music. For instance, melodies and harmonies. By talking about such artists as Glenn Branca, and My Bloody Valentine you can agree about the fact their inner power and verve was adeptly bound to something larger-than-life. Truly melodic, truly epic something which used to be bigger than life. At some point even better than dreams in fact. Because it used to be witty as well. The same strategy seems to be the base for this 3-notch outing by Roger Haddad whose music is very loud and resonant yet involving majestic climaxes even if it is minimally running through microscopic changes and colours in timbre. Noise can be negative and noise can be positive. The first of them is clearly pointed to destroy the structure of something, the other pigeonhole is to represent something on its own. On the issue there are represented both of the categorisations.

Comment: I guess it supposed to be an example of contemporary indie/alternative pop. First time I could not concentrate but I had to focus on weird singing mode. I tried to figure out is it sung in Russian while strongly buffoonish or is it sung in Ukrainian or Belarusian. As much as I understand Russian I did figure out the lyrics is strongly lovelorn and the lyrics is frequently conveyed in a simplistic and naive way. However, musically it is craftily produced while being imbued with peaky synths and suggestive cadences. At times the elements will change their paths steeply by allowing lofty and bombastic dodges into the mix. Although my first impression was the release is the sort of lacklustre and mediocre. Given that I have to admit the release is a grower. But I feel I would like to get more emotions from the music it is somehow calculated and restrained. The grower is a bit in the discography of Mizou. This is a way of how electro pop, indie and synth pop used to mingle into one. Even if I am being an old school indie man preferring listen to Lambchop's Nixxon to fall asleep (sic!) I will appreciate it ultimately.
