Lumiere Froide - Lumiere Froide
What a surprise, Wales! Toh, Cardiff!
The capital of Wales is a voice that never shouts, disciplined, discreet, living by the River Taff and minding its own business. Its citizens are elegantly devoted to discretion, without depriving themselves of what other citizens of the world experience. But by choice and vocation they exist without clamour.
This is also the case with music.
Take the Lumiere Froide.
Mysterious but refined, they put an Ep of four songs on the record market and we are left open-mouthed by the sum of the elements they show us, their verbal and sonorous crossings, their imprints within the beauty of the hat, coat and grey scarf that protect their art, a snapshot of a place even before the musical genres proposed. They take Coldwave and romanticise it with cleverly veiled Post-Punk spasms.
Double Take is a neurotic dance with a Synthwave mood that runs through a gloomy vocal kept almost at a distance.
With Peace the rhythm gives way, the first few seconds give us the most experimental Cure, but then we quickly enter the warmth of Coldwave, pure Coldwave, capable of abundant hypnotic doses.
Slip Away is an intriguing dream that gives us the clouds on which to listen to it move with chimes of Sunth that bewitch.
The concluding Intimate Blood is the most aggressive: an Electro Dark thrust and robust drumming give us a less present but low register singing that conquers. And then it's delirium with a keyboard that enters in a wonderful loop.
Long live Cardiff: keep it up and embrace the band for me!
