Since 2006, this band from Limoges (France) honed its songs to come to a mature and cohesive sound with stoner rock influences. Since Carnivora (2013) the band performed more than 100 times (Hellfest Open Air in France, The Stone Festival in Spain) and played with Placebo, Triggerfinger, The Damned and Suicidal Tendencies... A sign that the band does have potential. And when you listen to the latest album, you will agree. The stoner contains heavy riffs, bluesy and grunge influences, but we also hear delicate nuances making this band better than the average stoner party. Indeed, the material is better than average and more complex. The band explores the subtle boundaries of the genre. Take for example The Ghost Beside Me that contains fine harmonies with subdued piano synths. The complex and extended instrumental intro of the title track contains synths, samples and organic sounding guitars. A Farewell to Dawn constantly explores the boundaries between energy, power, melody and subtlety. Other good songs are: January (very fine single), King In The Mud (nice vocals) and A Well Kept Secret ( which refers to Queens of the Stone Age). And we don't forget the firm and warm vocals.
With its 35 minutes, A Farewell To Dawn is a short album that begs for more. It is highly recommended for fans of Pearl Jam, Audioslave, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Tracer...
