CRYPTOCHROMA - Crépuscule (Featuring Leila Venus)
Belgium, a land dear and precious to me, both for music and cycling, is experiencing a very fertile moment but, as it often happens there, the spotlight seems to be turned off.
It's a pity because, if we think of Cape Sidereal and its side project called CRYPTOCHROMA, we could really benefit from its dreamy atmospheres not without the possibility of making us dance.
After its debut album Numb in 2020, it is back with a magnetic, sensual, liberating single. To do so, he teamed up with Leila Venus, the Parisian singer with a feathery, warm, meandering voice.
The track in question is a Minimal Wave flow drenched in subtle, almost hidden but effective electronic music.
Cape Sidereal finds an infectious melody, a jet of cold air crossing the desert that remains intact as the song really seems to look out on the sand hills at sunset, with the synth swelling this gloomy feeling.
Everything sticks softly to the skin, making the passage of time and the nomadic movements of the mind feel like something extremely simple.
Leila's spectacular use of vocals delivers blue roses to our hearts with her strong and intense French accent, singing in her mother tongue in the chorus.
And it's pure ecstasy because in its simplicity the song needs nothing else: it gets stuck in our head and provides the urge of repeated listening.
An almost darkness in front of our eyes seems to really lead us into a twilight that connects dream and reality in a hypnotic limbo.
A winning combination: we can only hope that more tracks will be written, because this amniotic blanket called Crépuscule has wrapped us up in sensations that make us feel the pleasure of imprisonment...
