My Review: Ohne Nomen - Darkness

Ohne Nomen - Darkness

An electronic lightning bolt emerges from a grace-soaked synth, with the eye catching the nuance of a darkness, a nightmare waiting to be touched, and it is the magnetic and sensual voice of Fra Marlat, along with the work of her partner Philippe Marlat (Iamnoone), who carves a deep mark with his fingernails in this cloudburst of sound that falls from the celestial face. The two return, and they do so by writing a track that reveals an intimate propensity to conjugate different souls, a pact of strength that makes one wince as both the sung and played parts develop the alchemy of these souls devoted to dark beauty. Fra has grown, a great deal: her voice is a lead feather breaking through the void, incisive, pragmatic, a queen of darkness painting her kingdom. Philippe is a talented machine intent on sweeping through the sea of possibilities: what he achieves is the marriage of melody and rhythm without any of the elements prevailing, for an unquestionable final maturity. Synthwave, Coldwave, drops of Minimal Wave: it is not in these definitions that you will find the right amount of pain and fascination. Throw yourself into the ice-filled waves and the Gods of Thought, in a joyful way, will be the beacons of truth because this song, like an incredulous torch, will be able to make a small ray bloom, just enough for you to see the depths of this poignant track…
