THE REVIEW

Mare, mare, mare voglio annegare / portami lontano a naufragare / via, via, via da queste sponde / portami lontano sulle onde... ("Summer On A Solitary Beach", Franco Battiato)

In the vast sea of alternative-indie-experimental-canadian-rock offerings, "Images de Futur" (released in 2013 after their first 2010 release "Zeroes QC") emerges like a gigantic rogue wave of overwhelming beauty.

It starts with the furious chaos of "Powers of Ten," yet everything that follows is orderly delight for the ears: excellent vocal melodies, outstanding arrangements, captivating rhythms. All of this contributes to creating an elegant and enchanting work where the cold fusion of kraut atmospheres, acid psychedelia, and electronic dilations gives rise to a series of hypnotic nightmares with disorienting effects. It's like closing your eyes and letting yourself be swayed under the moon on a little boat in the middle of the Pacific.

A mature, complete, and obsessive album that may remind you of Alt-J's debut or the more electronic Radiohead, a three-dimensional and fluid (master)piece that fully absorbs the listener with its disturbed and disturbing minimalism.

Often, getting lost in that immense sea that is the indie of the 2000s can turn out to be terribly boring. It's encountering majestic waves of such allure that give meaning to the entire journey.

The future is now.
