Cecilia::Eyes (Christophe Thys, Mike Colart, Gauthier Vilain, Xavier Waerenburgh, Pascal Thys) de Belgica
Segon disc del grup de Post-Rock de Belgica, en la linea Tortoise, Mogwai,… Relaxing people
It takes time to listen to this album. At an average song length just under 7 (yes, seven) minutes, it’s not something you’re going to hear on the radio and get a sudden crush on. It’s something you have to take home and savor. Like good chocolate, bite it and it’s wasted. It needs time to melt on the tong – for that long lingering sensation, that private moment of pleasure. And the repetition is hypnotic – you can listen to the themes time and time again, just like a Buddhist mantra.
This is an album of soundscapes, of space for reflection, of soaring guitars, of despair and emotion, of passionate drumming. A worthy follow-up from this band that deserves recognition way beyond the frontiers of our small country.
