The French band Owun roots itself in the dark post-punk, restructured following architectures borrowed from post-rock. The songs have a circular, rhythmic, obsessive structure, a black wall constructed by adding noise bricks, allowing distorted musical phrases to wander freely over a tribal bacchanal.
Additive music, musical elements are added, reiterated, even the voice has a constructive function and gets lost in the sonic magma that slowly engulfs us like a black wave.
Post-punk tribalism, noise explosions, post-rock stratifications, incursions into ambient noise territories, listening to certain "post" of Neurosis, all elements meticulously dosed make "Le Fantòme de Gustav" a fascinating creature that slowly materializes until the final explosion.
Anxious landscapes painted with European colors by the early Sonic Youth, the painful reiterations of Swans, the tidal waves of fellow-countrymen Ulan Bator, the tribalism of Neurosis, are the first images evoked by this noisy dance that demands and deserves the right attention.
