Album Overview
The French instrumental band deliver peaceful simplicity on their fourth release
Calming background affair
45 minutes of consistent guitar tones. Do not expect any risk taking on this one
Difficult to experience in one full sitting unless background music intention
Need more risk taking, this album is quite flat
Track Insights:
1. Shadows on Mars (8:00)
Not much movement on this one
2. Womhole Eyes (6:42)
Appreciate the darker tones to commence, best track of the lot
3. Soul Asylum (8:04)
Title track is quite the snoozer
4. Blur (5:25)
Narrow sonic range
5. Star Rider (6:05)
Same same
6. Frozen Clouds (3:57)
Clouds open up a bit in last minute
7. Dizzy Sun (4:25)
South Pacific feel... subtle as can be
Standout Track(s):
Benera
This lengthy mind-trip has it all. Not only does it jam, they throw in some odd vocals and timely Deep Purple-esque synths.
Brew Pairing
French Broad River Brewery’s River’s Mist Hazy IPA at 7.1% ABV is a solid beer. This Hazy IPA has a slightly hazy golden body and a juicy citrus bouquet. It is whirlpool hopped with Cascade and Lemon Drop hops and dry hopped with a healthy amount of Cascade and Amarillo giving it a noticeably aromatic finish that is enhanced by notes of tart grapefruit, lemon and herbs. Steady citrus faire that blends well in the background with Soul Asylum.
