12/12/2013, Filip VAN MUYLEM

This is the second time that I review Kursed and it feels a bit like coming home. They have a nice sound and their guitarplayers can produce any sound, just like if it was only a sort of game.

'Success' starts a bit like Smilers (a band that not much people know, in this part of Europe), it has a nice sliding guitar and a calm voice. The tempo is a bit like a tango mixed with some French rock. 'Merry go round' is a nice pop/rock song with cool English (and with a French tongue!) and cool backings. At some point the song changes into a more festive song and a happy sound (a bit like The Employees) and than got joined by some nice metal minded guitars... It seems like this song has almost every possible twist, just to show off what they can do.

'Country song' is more a countryminded ballad, nicely played and really moving. A real campfire song with a nice harmonica!

'Animal' is what I call a typical rocksong à la Kursed. The kind of song that really rocks and that will move people when they play it on stage. You can feel the energy and it jumps on you!

Another great job done by Kursed, seems like they are not Kursed! Excusé moi le jeu de mot!

IAMX feels quite delicate to me. It needs understanding and effort to really see the bigger picture. The live show can do that, it can convince people, but from my internal feeling, it can be uncomfortable.

40 YEARS OF THE ARCH
In our rehearsal room, making music was one thing; lounging around and drinking, joking around, and drinking even more was also fun.

I am often a little frustrated by the complexity of my music, which in turn motivates me to keep composing, hoping that one day I will write a simple song.
