Parasite Baby - Parasite Baby
Numbers have always been one of the old scribe's many interests: he could write a book on the subject. Let it be known that he loves the number three and that the songs he has his eye on have that number. The Chicago band seems to feed on delicious hallucinogenic substances in the vicinity of the delirium of continuous beauty, leading the listener to the place where the decadence of living seems to be a party for craggy, annulled, joyless souls. The chanting vocals, the sparks of the keyboard, the minimalist redundancy of the reverberations induce the listener to dredge up moments of authentic and glorious depression, the kind that is good for the heart. All subtle, nothing exaggerated, a fairytale on a rainy day with three respectful downpours that would like to hide under your coat.
The musical zones expressed are many, skilfully sewn onto the skin of structures that do not ask for pomposity, like a gauge that adjusts measurement. They are songs to be listened to in one's own privacy, with a glass of wine and the desire to exclude the sun's rays: let it be dark then...
