QUAI M 94 Boulevard du Maréchal Leclerc 85000 LA ROCHE-SUR-YON
Event description
HOOVERIII :
More than anything else, Pointe feels like a full circle for Hooveriii, who has gone from a solo bedroom project to a full-scale band made up of an army of talented musicians.
“In many ways, Pointe feels like the epilogue to one phase of the band and the prologue to the next,” explains Hooveriii.
Pointe is an album that wasn’t recorded in a linear fashion: the tracks fit together in a way that seems almost cosmic. In other words, it’s Hooveriii at its most creative and least distilled.
“I don’t really care about trying to push the boundaries,” admits the singer, reflecting on the band’s long journey.
“What matters to me is making a good album that sounds coherent – and I feel like with this one, we’ve done a good job.”
MARS RED SKY:
Mirror effects, reversals, double-dealing… This fifth studio effort from French heavy psychedelic stalwarts MARS RED SKY presents a conceptual work skilfully thought out to take the listener on a journey through a shifting, unpredictable and even completely disconcerting universe of sound. The trio from Bordeaux explore progressive and post-metal territory that suits them perfectly. The miracle recipe of jagged vocals and thumping rhythms is spiced up with acoustic passages, drones and half-kraut, half-gothic effects. The moods and settings are finely crafted, with Julien Pras’s voice adding a delicious pop languour. The music is the master of the narrative here, absorbing all the elements and transforming them into a kind of reversible allegory, as attractive as it is disturbing. The tour de force of “Dawn Of The Dusk” lies in its ability to construct a unique creative space in which to move with wonder.
The album is designed to be read in one go, its creation ensuring that each track follows on from the next. The last three tracks form a triptych.
